Can I ask where at in Colorado you are? I've not had good luck 
with the
two agencies I've been involved in.

 Hi.  The meeting with rehab was unsuuccessful in doing anything

 made me aware of stuff.  They don't want me to have a Mac 
because they
 don't feel I should have one.  I understand they don't buy macs 
in
 Colorado, but my concern about third party apps fell on deaf 
ears.
 They want me to do a "situational assessment and work adjustment
 training."  They found an agency for me to work at, and they're
 forcing me to go to mental health group and counseling 
therapies.
 Honestly, I'm getting tired of this.  I didn't think a mental 
issue
 would cause the employment to be the top priority.  But I can't
 exactly go along with Rehab and their plans.  They pretty much 
coerced
 me into doing the work adjustment training, saying that I was 
"putting
 the cart before the horse" with college and all.  But most 
sighted
 normal people go to college and get a major.  What am I supposed 
to do?
 Thanks,
 Beth
