Does anyone know what services a state must provide for a blind person
if they receive federal funding?  I know someone in Ga. that had to quit
working because of deteriorating sight and the state is denying him O&M
and like services because of his age (32).  They told him they only have
funding for services to the elderly and children.  The state department
of Labor has also told me that they do not give services such as job
placement and referrals to someone that they feel can market themselves.
If the state is supposed to give services such as these, and receives
federal funding, what federal agency would someone have to contact if
denied services?  Thanks for any info!
