Debby,  hope something in here helps.  b

Justify justify justify why Colorado Center is the place for  you.  This is 
not an email by chance. Julie Deden, CO Ctr, was my first  DBS/VR counselor 
about 19 years ago. We met up at the National Convention after  all these 
years! She has taken this directorship and i can vouch that being  under her 
tutelage, direction at her center is The Best place for  you.
Her talent, special talent is recognizing and working with the  student 
preparing for college.

At your meeting in the morning with FL DBS, self advocate, justify  why 
this school has the protocol best suited for you and your needs at  this 
juncture in your life.  May I suggest these ideas for  you? 

Clearly state your educational goals, your majors and why. CO CTB  has a 
unique and strong world-renowned reputation of unique and strong  protolcols 
that will meet my educational goals...state again what these goals  are, CTB 
can help me maintain and strengthen what I've learned thus far in my  young 
life, coming out of high school. I have ILskills and for my age group i do  
well. Being a college preparatory student on my own CO CTB, living on  
campus at CO CTB and I can fulfill my goals more effectively.  (keep  mentioning 
the school name and  your educational  goals often).
Below I cut/pasted from a web page I found. Maybe you will see some  'buzz 
words' in there to help you in the morning.
You will do just fine...
just remember DBS doesn't care about the emotional aspect of our  
lives...they need to justify your justification for approval and  why.

Good luck, keep me posted, please!

The Colorado Center for the Blind is a world-renowned training center

miles south  of Denver. Since its establishment in 1988, the Colorado Center has

Hello Debby,

Can you explain a bit  as to what 'last appeal' means, please? I may  have 
missed previous  posts on this subject.

Thanks.
Brooke

Last  appeal for assistance in getting Division of Blind  Services here in 
FL to help  Winona attend the CO Center for the  Blind next summer. I know 
DBS 
doesn't like  to fund programs out of  state, but she really wants to 
attend 
the CO program,  and we like  the NFB philosophy that will come from there.

This will be  the  summer between graduating high school, and beginning 
college. Hard  to  believe that time has arrived!


Thanks for any  additional  suggestions, persuasive comments, etc. We 
appreciate the  ones received  previously. We are putting together our 
final 
requests  before our meeting on   Tuesday.

Thanks!
