[nabs-l] Careers in assistive technology

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
Good points Desiree. Okay not a school in the academic sense.
But they do have an assistive tech program and you get a certificate in it.
I'm sure its somewhat useful as it still exists.
Since people have gone and found jobs afterward, I'd say its worth 
something. Yes, I've heard iffy things about LWSB, but I think Kayla should 
make
her own decision.

Hi,
So, if it's not a school, does that mean the accreditation is
worthless? I'm just trying to understand that part of it. I wouldn't
attend there, because I've heard some disturbing stories, to put it
lightly, about sanitation issues in the dorms.
