[nabs-l] Results of my Rehab meeting

[Joshua Lester]

I was able to talk to the instructor, via E-mail.
I'm going to get my books from Learning Ally.
The DSB needed to be notified, 6 months ahead of time, in order to get
my books in Braille, which is impossible, because, how can I know, 6
months ahead of time, what classes I need to take?
This is crazy!
Blessings, Joshua
