Your religion should not  have anything to do with that; that is absolutely
distasteful on their part.

Dear NABS-sters,
YEs, I'm writing you guys after so much time has passed.  I'd like to go
back to school for computer stuff, web design and stuff, but Rehab has
caused me to go nuts lately.  Firstly, they said I needed "extra" social
skills training, which isn't available for adults.  I have already gotten
training in social skills at CCB, Colorado Center for the Blind, but I have
no idea what DVR in Colorado is trying to do now.  I have spoken to numerous
people who said I should appeal, and so I wrote this letter.  If anyone
wants to see it, email me privately at my personal email if you have it or
you may email me at eataurasi at gmail.com.  Anyone need my number you may have
it so that you can go over this with me.  I can do anything to get this
done.  I tried the Lawyer list, but Mr.
LaBarre said I should call the Legal Center for People with Disabilities,
which did not even bother to help with another case I had.  I don't know who
to talk to at the legal center, so I plan to call them at some point.  I
want to go in front of a judge, but I don't know if DVR will listen.  My
resolution to this problem would be that they just take me off the list,
give me some wage compensation, and give me a different setn of people who
can help.  Either that or I will drop the case and go private with services.
Anyone got any ideas?
Some things of note: They got on my case about some dress I was wearing.
This is the same service provider who sent me to a psychologist who accused
me of "pretending to be Arab."  Something psychologists should never do is
state that sort of thing about someone.  I'm no longer Muslim due to this,
and have converted to Christianity along with my dressing style.  But that
doesn't mean I dress in short short dresses.  I have a certain code I
follow, and it is appropriate to the knowledge of CCB.  I'm not kidding.
The DVR did not even give me a chance to finish my work because "Bedbugs
transfer," said the lady I was working with.  Here's the thing.  They didn't
give me a written note saying what they wanted with the official letterhead.
That would have been beneficial though it isn't required in my suspicions.
Anyway, thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone wants
to help in this thing, please email me privately at the addresses above.
Beth Taurasi
