morning to a senior health fair in Oneida and I had met a woman I don't have her card here with me. It's in my car, actually, and she told me that she does these applications. >> PARTICIPANT: Okay. >> TONI McENIRY: And so I said, that's great. Let me have your business card, you know? And I'm going to be calling her and see what we could do here and in Onondaga County, you know to figure out a way that we can do them, because those applications are very thick. You need to take a class to even learn how to fill them out for the vet. >> PARTICIPANT: Yes, ma'am! >> TONI McENIRY: The veteran too. >> PARTICIPANT: You are right about that. >> TONI McENIRY: Yes. >> PARTICIPANT: Well, thank you. >> TONI McENIRY: You're very welcome. >> TIM Thank you, Toni. >> TONI McENIRY: You're welcome. >> TIM FUCHS: I want to make sure that we leave enough time for Bruce's presentation. If you have a question, and we didn't get to it, please go ahead and save it for the final Q&A break that we'll have after Bruce's session. Now I will turn it to Bruce. >> BRUCE DARLING: This is Bruce Darling. I'm with the Center for Disability Rights in Rochester, New York, and I will talk a bit about our model services for people who are deaf/blind. So Rochester has some background. Rochester has one of the largest per capita populations of deaf people in the country, and a vibrant deaf community. ago, it was actually described as a deaf Mecca, and in a way, it was comparable I think it is comparable to San Francisco for the LGBT community. We have a number of educational institutions here, school for the deaf, and NTID, and a lot of students come here, and because of the concentration of folks there's a lot of access and so people stay.
