[nabs-l] NFB Training Center

[David]

Hi.
I am currently attending LCB. Beth, your family should not have to pay for
training at CCB out of there pocket. You could always try doing what I did,
by going to a hearing if all of the other VR officials deny your request.
What state are you in?
David

I am actually trying to go to the CCB in Colorado, but the Division of
Blind Services is attempting to deny me.  ALso, I have a family that
claims they can't afford it.  So I would love all the help I can get.
