Good morning Miso, I am attending the very same program, and really like the 
Colorado Center and their staff. I have attended both the mid school and 
high school programs before and have refered many friends to CCB.

Subject: [nabs-l] Choosing an Appropriate Summer Training Program

I have previously discussed this matter and am aware that Colorado
Center staff are on the list.
Before I start writing letter of justification to California Department
of Rehab I would like to hear from people who participated in the
program.
The program I aim to attend is Summer for Success College-Prep program.
If you have participated in this program please share your experience
with me either on or off list.
What I would like to achieve the most over the summer before I start
college are the following:
Improvement in orientation and mobility skills
Using JAWS (I use a Korean made screen reader; only know the basics of
JAWS)
Improvement in home management skills (cooking, cleaning, etc)
I know that the college prep program's curriculum includes academic
aspects of college and how to access the disabilities services.
This could vary from person to person, but generally, would learning
such things be helpful and worth the time?
Knowing myself this summer might be the only time I attend such
training programs.
While I am afraid of supposedly rigorous college academics, I am not
100% sure if attending a program that includes academic help in a way
would substantially benefit me.
I know for a fact, I need to improve on O&M and home management and
obtaining training in those areas will benefit me for a long time.
However, I am not willing to spend a year training on those skills. The
summer might not be enough but I will do my best to learn and maintain
the skills afterwards especially now.
Based on what you have read so far, would you suggest any program other
than CCB's summer success for college program?
Based on your experience, what would you do differently? What advice
would you give me?
