Dee Jones, Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired rehabilitation technician, was recognized with a director's certificate at the Commission meeting on Sept. 9.

She spent the time to create templates for all Vocational Rehabilitation and SBVI tech’s to use to help facilitate getting the much-needed information when scheduling their clients with medical providers. By taking the time to create these tools, she not only served the needs of DRS, but she served the needs of our Third Party Administrator, UMR.

Congratulations, Dee and thank you for all that you do!

It's Fiction Friday! This week we are featuring a book for high schoolers.

"The Beat I Drum," by Dusti Bowling is about a boy named Connor, who has Tourette Syndrome. He isn't looking forward to his first day of high school because he knows his new classmates won't understand him, his barking or his tics. However, he meets a girl who also has Tourette’s, who invites him into her group of friends. Connor also has a teacher who gets him into drumming to help with his stress and get a break from his tics.

However, his absent father comes back into the picture and a bully at school escalates, turning Connor's world upside down. With all of this pressure, he feels like he's going to explode. But will a surprising revelation save him and help him find his beat again?

This book is available on Amazon.
