[Nfbf-l] Opening a case with DBS

[craig kiser]

I have visited both centers and they are both excellent.  They 
both will likely be represented at the national convention in 
Orlando in July.  You could learn much about them if you visit 
them in Orlando.  You are right on about the need for a new 
residential rehabilitation center in Florida.  Daytona is quickly 
turning into worse than waste of time.  Their policies can 
reinforce dependency, not independence.  Many of their policies 
appear to treat students as children rather than adults.  Stay 
with it.  Craig

Subject: [Nfbf-l] Opening a case with DBS

Guys, Just sent in an application in order to open a case with 
DBS.  I felt like it was time to get some mobility training, and 
a refresher on my independent living skills.  Holly, I remember 
when you were at the center with me, and you felt I should use my 
cane just like everyone else even when Steve didn't want me to.  
Thanks Holly for helping me to defy him! I told my Mobility 
teacher from high school what happened, and he was floored! He 
said I was a rote traveler, but with some extra work, I am 
capable of doing mobility.  I'm going to be receiving services 
from the lighthouse for the blind of the Palm beaches at this 
time, until I can figure out which NFB center I want to go to.  I 
was wanting to go to LCB, but Beth said CCB was good.  I'm 
meeting with DBS Tuesday! RJ
