[nabs-l] rehab issues, anyone like to throw in some advice?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Beth,

         I would love to talk with you concerning a problem with the 
DOR! Would you like to call or, shall I call you?  My number is 408-209-3239.

Rehab!
>>They should be sued for racial profiling, for that "Pretending to 
>>be Arab," comment!
>>That's the route I'd go on with this!
>>Blessings, Joshua

>>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
