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

in a row   prior to the   meeting.

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!
