I need advice on higher education because of deafness

That's why the France governemnt psychologists test their own French ciziten to match their skill and intelligent for the right major at university or technology school....

Anyway, you may remind your VR counselor about CAP (Client Assistance Program) that you may have right to select your own school...

Yes, it is correct. His VR counselor should not demand him to see psychologist because it violated his rights as a client and she also should respect his informed choices. FYI, I am a VR counselor for State of PA and have to listen to what my clients' needs without critizing them or whatever.

If his vr counselor is still persistent, you can file CAP. I wish you good luck in your education endeavors.
 
I've been very busy with school and I didn't have time to update this thread.

Here's the news!
I went to see someone who is an advocate and I agreed that I will have to go to community college part time until 2007 and then transfer to bigger college. I am considering Northwestern CT community college because they have dhh program and that I know a deaf woman who works there. She said that SHE KNEW THAT THERE would be deaf people in wheelchairs and that she wants to assist me to go to ntid/rit since she went to NTID in 80's. it looks like my dreams might come true... ;)

My deaf/cp friend said that I am not alone and that I will be with deaf people in future.

Going to a community college is smart. The teaching tends to be better at community colleges, and they're cheaper. It gives students a little extra help when adjusting to the rigor of college.

Then you transfer to a bigger university and get a four year degree. Same sheet of paper, same career opportunities. The only different thing is you got your degree for cheaper and you got better teaching at first!

I totally agree.

Sounds like a plan!
 
On the other hand...... transferring as a residental kid is HARD to put it mildly. Most transfer students have absolutly NO social life. But I mean community college is good if you're somewhat behind academicly.......still I don't like the current community college I'm attending
 
Deafdyke,

Are you planning to transfer to a four-year program?

If so, good luck! You're a bright person and you seem like you'd be a good addition to the academic deaf world!
