[nabs-l] learning independent living

[Ashley Bramlett]

Sara,
There are some bad centers out there.  These individuals must have 
encountered that.
Most centers will meet the person where they're at.  The student will be 
pushed but can learn at their pace.
Those centers sending out such nasty letters stating the individual is 
incapable of learning are opening themselves to lawsuits.
