[nabs-l] Special Ed.

[Marty Rahn]

Beth,
That doesnt mean that you don't get a lot of opposition from those who are 
already in the field to your wanting to join the field as a former recipient 
of special education services.  I am currently getting quite a bit of 
opposition from my program at the University of Northern Colorado.  I am 
trying to become a teacher of blind children, and it's certainly not easy 
when you're battling that age old belief that seems to be espoused by a lot 
of so-called professionals in the field that as a blind student, you should 
be the benificiary of special education services, but you shouldn't teach in 
the field.  What Joseph said in another message is absolutely true, and it's 
a downright shame!
Sincerely,
Marty Rahn
President, Colorado Association of Blind Students
Vice President, National Federation of the Blind of Colorado (Greeley 
Chapter)
