 Well, I obviously can't speak from personal experience, but I suspect
 that the problem is more complex than that; I am well-acquainted with
 two blind women who are both as "rehabilitated" as they could possibly
 be, and yet have great difficulty finding employment.  I suspect that,
 while there are obviosly some incompetent and ineffectual rehab
 counselors out there, the bigger problem is prejudice and ignorance
 amongst the great mass of sighted employers.

 I realize, too, that I'm not telling you anything you don't know.
