[nabs-l] Results of my Rehab meeting

[Chris Nusbaum]

Neither does the BrailleNote.  I don't think a graph can be shown 
on a refreshable Braille display.

I'll get my US History 1 book from them, this Fall.
The Pac Mate won't read graphs, because it's in computer Braille.
Blessings, Joshua

 Oh, I see.  What about Bookshare?

 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

  Um...

  (1) Why can't you get anything in Braille? Is the DSB not
  offering you anything in Braille anymore? I thought you said 
you
  had to deal with them if you are to get your books in Braille.
  Well, if you get a Pacmate, you won't need hardcopies.
  2.  How did you deal with the last compressed video class you
  took? I remember you talking about that on the list before, but
  can't remember how you handled it if you took the class.

  Well, I have some good news, and bad news, from this meeting.
  The good news, I'm finally getting some cooperation, and I 
might
  be
  able to have a Pac Mate, for the rest of my college tenure.
  The bad news, is as follows.
  #1.  I can't get anything, in Braille.
  #2.  All of my classes are at night, except for College 
Algebra.
  #3.  They're letting me take a Philosophy class, in place of
  Music
  Appreciation, but there's one problem!
  It's another compressed video class!
  #4.  I won't get to graduate in May.
  They're claiming, that I lack 4 hours, so I'll have to take 
that
  other
  Science class, in the Fall.
  That's a community college for you!
  Oh well!
  At least, this time, the counselor showed up, (LOL!)
  Blessings, Joshua
