[Faith-talk] Bible college.

[Alicia Richards]

Hello, listers.

Alan, I also went to Bible college.  It was called Lincoln Christian 
College, and it was in Lincoln, Illinois.  I was there for five years.  I 
chose the school because it had a good mix of Bible classes, and regular 
psychology learning, and I was a counseling major.

Accommodations were usually pretty good.  Two things helped me.  I was a 
client of the Iowa Department for the Blind, who is extremely generous with 
what it provides to students in the way of financial assistance and 
technology, help with ordering books, etc.  I ordered my own textbooks and 
other equipment, but to me, that's as it should be, not turned over to an 
office for students with disabilities.

While LCC had no official office of that kind, they did have what was called 
the Learning Resource Center.  This was made to work with anyone who needed 
some kind of assistance with school, whether it be students with 
disabilities, or simply those who needed extra academic help, etc.  They 
were always good about handling whatever I needed done and being very 
helpful, while leaving their hands off of things I wanted to do myself.

The school also acquired a Braille embosser in their library, as well as put 
JAWS on a library computer.  They might not have done this, except that they 
managed to receive a grant to help any disabled students they had, so they 
asked me what would be most useful to me.  Since the Greek language was part 
of my studies, that Braille embosser was great.

Anyway, if you have any other questions, feel free to write me off list.
