I like most of your ideas here, but however I do have some questions.  Is it
true that its against the ADA to change my time without asking me first,
because on weekends they come any time they please to schedule me, which is
something I don't also like especially in the summer time when street fairs
and other things are happening, I want to get to by noon.  I mainly want
them to realize that if I signed up for a 9:00 visit, I want it 7 days a
week no matter what.  Also it's a must for me especially on weekends because
the Prentke Romich Company is starting weekend service hours, which I'm
responsible to operate starting at noon.  I don't take my job at PRC very
lately, especially after what they have done for me by building me a voice.
And I'm also Getting some more responsibilities there, which I'm excited
about.

Thanks,
Anthony

  Subject: letter to agency


  Hi Anthony,

  I would rewrite the letter like this:

  To Whom It May Concern,

  My name is Anthony Arnold. I am a client of your agency. I understand that
  you recently added another client to your caseload. This is very nice.
  However, I would like to know why my time and others on this same caseload
  have been changed without previous agreement or acknowledgment. I am a
human
  being who lives a life and have things that I accomplish on a daily basis.
By
  changing my time without prior agreement, you are in effect telling me
that
  my time and life is not a valuable part of your schedule. I do not like
this
  new scheduled time since it doesn't allow me the ability to do what I
would
  like on my own time frame.

  I suggest that in the future, you call each person on the caseload and ask
  for their permission to alter or permanently change their time for xyz
  reason. If the time change is not acceptable for various reasons, then
work
  around that accordingly. You can't change everyone's time arbitrarily. I
  believe that goes against the ADA laws and the rights of the individual in
  general.

  I know that your time is valuable, but so is mine. I, too, am a human
being.
  Please respect my rights and feelings.

  Thank you in advance for your time and help in this matter,

  Anthony
