[nabs-l] update on rehab affairs

[blackbyrdfly at gmail.com]

I'm not even going to try to cover all of this here. I just wanted to point out that EVERYONE is on that wait list, and it has nothing to do with you. I've been on it for over a year now and have had to pay my tuition for the past year out of pocket and start looking for a survival job to stay in school. You can't just get magically bumped to the front of the queue for no related reason. You have to wait for funds to become available just like the rest of us.

> I have contacted Client Assistance program rep Anna French, if any Coloradoans have known who she was.  Or is.  Sorry about the miswording there.  I contacted Anna French twice and left two messages, and have contacts else where and around the U.S. I can reach, but it seems none of my contacts will get back to me.  Shoot, I don't know what to do next.  I think I'm going to see about resolving the issue like this, see if anyone has any ideas for this:
> 1. The counselor must be changed.
> 2. The services must be provided and compensatory funds must be provided for all technological stuff I am asking for, no matter the plans.
> 3. A plan must be written up, no wait list, nothing.  And in this plan, we need to do an employment goal of computers and stuff, like web design, networking, IT basically.  I want to get an IT certification from CISCO, so they should ideally pay for something accessible and not something that would require too much paying in advance accommodations and such.  I'd chosen CISCO Academy of the Visually Impaired because it accommodates blind people and teaches all the skills needed to do Linux and stuff, networking and the like.
> 3. Any psychological evaluations must be carefully mmonitored and if a racial profiling like that which occurred in 2011, in which the doc wrote that I was pretending to be Arab occurs in the form of, "pretending to be Syrian/Catholic", I will ask that the doc be revoked of his license.  I am already thinking about actions to take against the doc because Richele, my counselor current, has the copy that says I was pretending to be Arab and didn't think to shred and get a copy without the Arab comments.  One more thing in the resolution, if they refuse to put together an employment goal that I write for myself, then I will drop the case with them and sue them for lost wages and compensatory damages related to racial profiling.
> This may all sound weird, but how does this all sound to the public as a whole?  SHould I go about this?  If they refuse to do as I ask since the social skills group isn't available and since this provider is notorious for being not only white/American biased but sighted and custodially biased, do you think this is good?
