[nabs-l] A problem with a university disability resource center

[Rob Lambert]

One ponders how an office like the DRC that should be helping us could possibly be hurting us, generally speaking, that is.

You're not the only one dealing with disability related problems at
university.  Me too.  I have to deal with all this with a disability
office that will not let me take tests and a prof that doesn't like me
using alternatives to the disability office.  So I am always shot down
when I tell her I've hired a reader for a test and she says, "No, I'm
not comfortable."  Yeah, she may be nice, but she has no idea what she
is doing.

Hello. I've got a disability resource centre that's treating me like I'm 6.
for example I was using my cane  correctly, my cane  hit a wall and
reoriented and found the door to get out of the office and now because of
that my service for the blind councilor found about it and  wants to higher
a mobility specialist. I said no to that. Also, they are trying to basically
run my life. I've suggested ways they can help  me and I've delt   with them
before. They shrug me aside and ignore me all together. I was slow at
picking up m music that they scanned and expect me to Braille with barely
working equipment I have at home.  I am doing pretty well in my classes and
they are I feel spying on me and giving me hadies about every mistake I
make.  I'm sick of it. What should I do. I did tell them I graduated from an
nfb run blind center but it doesn't help. Also thy say  have not returned
there calls. I have gotten  no calls from them. I need your help. I am just
about at the end of my rope with them. I feel like quitting.

I found out about this through an email that was not sent to me but that was
Cced from my services for the  blind counciler to me.
