Thank you Jane,
In nine out of ten times, the state is not recognizing NOMC simply because no one has ever asked them to recognize NOMC. If the Carroll folks wanted to hire NOMC I am sure they would be allowed to hire NOMC.
On the other hand,if they conveyed to you that they dislike, distrust, or would never hire an NOMC then I will be sure not to post any information from them in the future.

Good morning Dr. Bell and fellow Federationists,
On Wednesday, August 9, I attended a meeting where representatives from the Carroll Center came to Oklahoma to market their center to our staff. They openly admitted that they do not accept the NOMC certification for orientation and mobility instructors. They said that this was true because they are governed by the state of Massachusetts and the state rehabilitation agency doesn't recognize our certification. Just wanted to give you folks a heads up.
