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

Hmmmmm, for sending me to the doc who did this?  Hmmmm, I should
probably sue him anyway, and file a racial profiling complaint.  
But
where to start?  This would not be an issue if I wasn't mentally 
ill
and blind at the same time.
Beth
