Hi.  The meeting with rehab was unsuuccessful in doing anything
but 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
