[nabs-l] Where Can I Turn For Some Help?

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

So the semester I thought would actually turn out well has just started taking a horrible turn for the worsts. I need some help in figuring out how to find a new reader that is not connected to the disabilities office despite the fact that I do not have any money. I also need help in figuring out my accommodations for my classes next semester. And I need help figuring out how I can find someone to help me communicate with the disabilities office.

I really hate being a blind student who has other disabilities in addition to my blindness. I have no idea how the hell to keep up my grades for this semester without going completely insane. And I honestly have no idea how the hell I am ever going to be able to complete my science and math classes so that I can actually get my degree.

I know the NFB does not help individual cases like mine, so if anyone has any ideas as to where I could find a person I could actually talk to who might be able to help me figure some of this stuff out, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I really wish I had known that I was going to be losing what little support I receive from the disabilities office in the middle of the semester. It has turned into a mess that is too complicated for me.

But please do not tell me that attending an NFB training center is the answer for me as I do not have the money for that either.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
