[nfbmi-talk] FW: [nabs-l] Sample Justification Letter

[Elizabeth]

Recently there has been some discussion on the student list about attending NFB training centers. Since the training center here in Michigan has been left in a state of chaos with the departure of Christine Boone, I thought I would post this message for anyone who might be interested in attending an NFB training center. The Rehabilitation Act provides the right for clients of the rehabilitation system to make informed choices regarding their rehabilitation services. I am simply posting this message so that people have the information necessary to make an informed choice.

> 
> Hi all,
> 
> As an addendum to our listserv discussion and conference call about
> getting justification to attend NFB training centers, Jim Omvig shared
> with us a sample justification letter that you can use to guide you
> when writing your letter justifying your choice to attend an NFB
> training center. We felt it would be beneficial to many blind students
> on this list, so I am attaching it here. Please note that this is just
> a sample, and can serve as the basic framework for your letter, but to
> write a strong and personal letter, you should feel free to insert
> examples of how you personally will benefit from the particular
> training center that you have chosen to attend. Talk about specific
> skills that you need training in, how those skills are relevant to
> your vocational goal, and give examples of activities at the center
> you have chosen that teach these skills through challenge and
> discovery. I also think the best-crafted letter will come after
> conversations with other center students, as we discussed earlier.
> 
> Please also feel free to share this with students in your state
> divisions or affiliates who are going through this process.
> 
> Best of luck to all!
