“Visioning Forums” around the state

The Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) has scheduled “Visioning Forums” to give individuals with disabilities, advocates, and other interested individuals an opportunity to provide feedback on the services OVR provides to Kentuckians with disabilities. Input from the visioning forums will be used to help develop the state plan that the agency is required to submit to the Rehabilitation Services Administration.

The visioning forums schedule follows. (All times local)
Louisville: 4 - 6 p.m., Oct. 21; Center for Accessible Living, Board Room, 305 W. Broadway, Suite 200

Florence: 4 - 6 p.m., Nov. 17; One-Stop Career Alliance of N. KY, Board Room, 8020 Veterans Memorial Drive

Kentuckians who are unable to attend a forum may send comments in any format (written, taped, phone call, etc.) to David Beach at 209 St Clair Street, Frankfort, KY 40601 or (800) 372-7172 by November 30, 2008.

If reasonable accommodations are needed for your participation at the forum, please call Veeta Bain at (800) 372-7172 (Voice/TTY) at least one week prior to the forum you wish to attend.
