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

[Rob Lambert]

I withdraw my dropping statement, I would say keep fighting and perhaps get the NFB involved.

William,

Great point about starting an email discussion with the disability office
and others involved!  I do the same thing at work when placing my clients
into drug rehab programs gets bureaucratic and out of hand.  In my
situation, I don't email the bureaurcratic parties, but rather, the lawyers,
to let them know the latest in the never-ending saga, but you get the
idea--document everything!

Sarah,
First off, start an email discussion with all parties involved.  Emails help

with a creation and formation of a paper-trail witch can be useful in 
advocating as well as litigation should that be necessary.  Which 
college/university is this?  Feel free to email me off-list for further help

at William.odonnell1 at yahoo.com.  Also, consider seeking support from public 
interest groups, any disability advocacy organizations (local independent 
living centers), and see if your college/university has a disability student

organization.  I Hope this helps.

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.
