[NABS-L] Questions About the Nfb Training Centers

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Chris thanks for your message. Here in Daytona, the Case Manager and the instructors are in charge of tracking the progress of each student. Students are encouraged to go to Case Management if they have a problem with another student. Such problems are reported to the student's parents.

Recently, another student took me to Case Management because I owed her a small amout of money. I wrote her an appology letter and sent her the money, but I have not received a response from her. If it had been me on the receiving end of this situation, I would not have take this student to Case Management.

> Students at NFB centers don't have case managers per se. Much like school, each teacher is directly responsible for each student's learning in the class they teach. These teachers keep track of students' progress and discuss their observations with each student individually at periodic "staffing" meetings. Of course the director of the center keeps track of how things are going, but individual case workers are not present. The only people who are monitoring each student's individual progress are his/her teachers and his/her rehab counsellor through reports sent to the VR agency from the center.

I have learned a lot of new things since I have been here. The first two weeks of my training consisted of assessments where I was asked a series of questions about what I could and could dot do on my own. Do the instructors at the Nfb training centers complete assessments on new students when they arrive? Here at the Rehab Center, we have a Case Manager who is in charge of each student's case who is participating in the Independent Living Skills program. Is this how it is at the Nfb training centers.
