It's frustrating because transparency is important in therapy in order to get the help we need.....whilc transparency can hurt us in places we think it's necessary to get the help since they specified that it was to help people with disabilities.....guess they should have definied what kind of disability they determined they were willing to help (physical vs mental)....but then they would not be able to be that transparent on their own without their discrimination becoming obvious & someone taking action against them.
On one hand, I think I might be desiring to take some action against them for that discrimination....or at least make it obvious to someone who might have something to say about it....especially since their discrimination is specifically based on their fear of loosing funding if they try to help certain disabilities.....wonder if the government would fund them if they knew that fact????
I would definitely be feeling hurt also in your place....especially since your loss of your last job had nothing to do with your disability if I remember correctly.
I remember going through the skills assessment thing that goes along with disability....trying to get people back into the work force....having been an engineer.....no one else in that kind of testing came from the educated background I came from....& all they truly wanted to place people into were factory assembly positions which would have driven me beyond crazy & that testing drove my anxiety level beyond what I could handle....however, the testing on the physics concepts no one had tested higher...lol.....but they weren't willing to pay for my going back to college to get retrained in a field that would not have been equivalent to my engineering but at least something more appropriate than assembly line work when I was focusing on interior design........anyway, glad I didn't bother with any of that because my mother ended up dying of cancer & I went through a horrible trauma with that & couldn't have finished the certificate program anyway.....but I did find it frustrating that those programs are now capable of dealing with the highly educated in this country either.
Life goes on & when one door closes, something else seems to open some time in the future.....just need a lot of patience is what I have found & sometimes it's hard to know how we should deal with things we feel are soooooo very discriminatory & WRONG.
