[nabs-l] Results of my Rehab meeting

[Ashley Bramlett]

Chris,
Usually books in braille are not available in college. And if they are they 
need lots of advance notice to  transcribe them. Most students will not know 
the textbook title five or six months in advance. Often a professor chooses 
the book and he/she does not decide til the next semester what to pick.

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.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."

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
