[nabs-l] Conklin center question: very immediate response is fullyrequested and fully needed

[Ashley Bramlett]

Alexander,
You've asked this before and from lack of responses I guess no one went 
there.
If you are really going there, you will get a sense of their expectations, 
what students learn and how involved the training is. You can ask students 
yourself in the dorm what its like. Its probably not as intense as Colorado, 
but it depends on your needs if this center will help you.

fullyrequested and fully needed

Attention Fellow Nabs Members:
Hi my name is Mr. Alexander Scott Kaiser. Has anyone completed the adult 
program at the Conklin Center for the blind, or do you know of anyone who 
has graduated from the Conklin Center for the Blind? If so I would like to 
know what to expect and if the program is as successful as the conklin 
center staff members say it is or if they are providing bogus reports just 
so they can hold national accreditation and receive continuous state funding 
from the Florida Division of Blind Services year after year. Do you know of 
anyone of whom who has graduated from the Conklin Center for the Blind adult 
program  who says that the Conklin Center for the Blind prepared them for 
lifetime success? Has anyone complained to the Florida division of Blind 
Services about how basic the training at the Conklin Center is and of whom 
made the statements to the FDBS? Is the program at the conklin center for 
the Blind able to teach at as high enough intensity as the CCB, lcb and 
blind Incorporated? Does
  the conklin Center for the Blind focus too much on adjustment to 
blindness, and what does the conklin center require for educating and 
rehabilitating its clients? Are any of the courses at conklin taught by 
blind or Visually Impaired mentors? Is the program at the Conklin center 
teaching proper skills for advancement in life? Do they prohibit college 
attendence? Do I need to have corespondence through Hadley School for the 
Blind in order to learn the nemeth Code, the Unified english braille code, 
the braille music code, the shorthand notetaking braille code, complex 
orientation and mobility skills and advanced skills in personal management 
and home management while attending the Conklin Center for the Blind?
I nneed to know as immediately as possible because I am attending a 2 week 
evaluation at their facility and I need to know if the program provides 
adequate training in the alternative skills of blindness so I can provide 
supporting defense for my letter to my DBS councelor. Am I   better off 
going to the Colorado Center for the Blind after the evaluation at the 
conklin center for the Blind is over? My evaluation start date at the 
Conklin Center for the Blind is set for september 4, 2012. An immediate 
response is greatly appreciated. If you know anyone who has attended the 
conklin center for the Blind's program in it's whole entirety . please have 
them contact me. I can be contacted off list regarding this matter. My off 
list contact information is below:
