The time is NOW the Debate is On! Be a part of the DEBATE to put the Bill to
license VRTs and O&Ms on the Assembly Higher Education Committee Agenda!

The Debate is whether Assembly Higher Ed. Chair Deborah Glick will put the
bill to License VRTs and O&Ms on the next agenda. There are 25 members on
the Higher Ed Committee. After last Lobby Day, we have 17 of them on our
bill!

The Meeting is off the floor Monday. NYVRA Government Relations Expert,
Steve Malito and his team are preparing a support packet with all memos for
delivery first thing Monday morning.

Glick looks like she plans to try to Hold the bill. It won't be easy to get
members to buck her, but we are working on it.

IT IS TIME for everyone to call all 17 sponsors that are on the bill and
H.Ed. Committee and tell them to support the bill A05581B to License VRT and
O&M professionals - the safety of over 1 million New Yorkers is at Stake.

And, anyone and everyone should be contacting Glick.

Attached is contact info for our 17 Bill Supporters.

Dear Assembly Member:

On Monday you will be participating in a debate, the outcome of which will
affect the safety of over 1 million New Yorkers with visual impairments. I
know you support this bill and I want to thank you for that support and urge
you to vote to put A05581 on Higher Education committee Agenda and move this
bill to license vision rehabilitation and orientation and mobility
specialists forward this session.

Individuals with visual impairments are one of the most vulnerable groups in
New York and this bill will finally offer basic protection from unlicensed,
untrained people who provide damaging advice and serve only to limit them
further by teaching them improper and unsafe techniques.

What is worse than no cane and no instruction in how to use it? Having the
wrong cane and misusing it and having misinformation about how to orient to
the environment. When a cane is used incorrectly it provides no protection
to its user. When someone doesn't' know how to reorient non-visually, they
get lost and scared.

If you are too scared to travel and you think you have "received O&M
services" you think you did something wrong or are unable to learn how to
regain independence - so, you sit home and become dependent on others and
stop living a full life.

Don't let this continue to happen - Vote to put 05581 on the agenda.

If you have time, please watch the short video from Hunter College below- it
describes the professions and shows one of the many graduates who work as
O&M specialists and are visually impaired. This bill is welcome by
professionals and consumers alike.

Great letter, Grace, thank you!  I just sent the following message to each
of the Assembly Higher Education Committee members:

Please vote to put A05581 on the Higher Education committee Agenda and move
this bill to license vision rehabilitation and orientation and mobility
(O&M) specialists forward this session.

I am an O&M specialist, and one of the people I am now working with has been
unable to move her wrist without pain for almost a year because she was
taught to use the cane incorrectly by a well-meaning professional.  That
professional is not a certified orientation and mobility specialist, and the
injury would not have happened if this woman had received her initial O&M
instruction from a qualified O&M specialist.

Thank you for your support in the effort to ensure that O&M and vision
rehabilitation services are provided by qualified professionals.

Dear Assembly Member:

On Monday you will be participating in a debate, the outcome of which will
affect the safety of over 1 million New Yorkers with visual impairments. I
know you support this bill and I want to thank you for that support and
urge
you to vote to put A05581 on Higher Education committee Agenda and move
this
bill to license vision rehabilitation and orientation and mobility
specialists forward this session.

Individuals with visual impairments are one of the most vulnerable groups
in
New York and this bill will finally offer basic protection from
unlicensed,
untrained people who provide damaging advice and serve only to limit them
further by teaching them improper and unsafe techniques.

What is worse than no cane and no instruction in how to use it? Having the
wrong cane and misusing it and having misinformation about how to orient
to
the environment. When a cane is used incorrectly it provides no protection
to its user. When someone doesn't' know how to reorient non-visually, they
get lost and scared.

If you are too scared to travel and you think you have "received O&M
services" you think you did something wrong or are unable to learn how to
regain independence - so, you sit home and become dependent on others and
stop living a full life.

Don't let this continue to happen - Vote to put 05581 on the agenda.

If you have time, please watch the short video from Hunter College below-
it
describes the professions and shows one of the many graduates who work as
O&M specialists and are visually impaired. This bill is welcome by
professionals and consumers alike.
