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

[Kendra Schaber]

Greetings!!! 
When you get rested up, explain your situation to the presadent with the request to ask the NFB to sue the college. Turn arround, ask your local sorority girls for volunteers to help out and also  ask your local vocation center for the blind about hireing readers to get past your science class. That's the least you can do to get around this one. Good luck!!! 

 

I hope you have a good day! 
Blessed be!!!

Here is a  little about myself. 
I am a graduate of both  the Oregon School for the Blind and Oregon City High School. I am a blind Pagan. I have work experience in gardening. I also am a crafter and painter.  I like to read, write and do anything on an iPhone.  
I am a die hard fan of the following: 
J. k. Rowling's Harry Potter Books, 
 J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books, 
C. S. Lewis's  Kronicals of Narnia books, 
L. Frank Baum's  Oz books,  
Pittsburgh, Penguins,  
 Detroit, Red Wings,  
Baltimore, Ravens,  
 Seattle, Sea Hawks,  
 Oregon State Beavers,  
 Portland, Winter Hawks, 
And anything to do with bald eagles.

The best roads are some where out there. 
My job is to discover them. 
Blindness has often tested me. 
 
Love has shown me that I can see the long awaited  stars. 
Salem, Oregon showed me the way home. 
Baltimore, Maryland showed me the way to the stars. 
Seattle, Washington showed me that I still can fly like I have always flown.  
Paganism has allowed me to fly higher than I ever have before. 
As I fly, I not only have dreams come true, I also discover where those dreams come from. 
 
As I move through life, I notice the many ways where my beliefs not only ring true, but also proven to be true by others. 
I am soaring like a bald eagle as I set out to live the life I want. 
I believe that everything is interconnected and full of magic. 
I am happily living with my wonderful boyfriend in Salem, Oregon. 
Blessed be!!!

I feel more isolated and misunderstood after sending my questions about how I could figure out a way to remain a part of my science class despite the fact that my professor is not a really good professor and the disabilities office has some sort of problem providing the accommodations they said they were going to provide for this class.

The college simply does not understand as the college keeps implementing and purchasing new technology across campus that is simply not accessible to blind students. So I am sorry that I am simply not strong enough to take on an institution that keeps demonstrating that it is against blind students.

If the college is not willing to provide me with the accommodations that I need, then I need to look somewhere else to receive them. And right now I feel as though I cannot wage war against my college while frantically searching for outside resources to help provide the accommodations the disabilities office is having a problem providing to me.

Once I find my own readers outside the disabilities office, they most likely will not be too happy with me, and I will most likely have to fight with them in order to use my own readers. But if they are not willing to discuss the problems they are encountering in providing me with the accommodations they said they would provide, then I feel as though finding my own reader is my only real choice for being able to remain in this class.

Therefore, I will most likely not be responding to any more messages regarding this issue this weekend. Composing messages takes up a lot of time and energy, and I really need my rest.
