Hi Rohan, You could consider contacting LVPrasad Institute in Hyderabad. They provide rehabilitation training. Additionally, I have been living independently over several years and can share some hacks if you want. Feel free to call me on 8087813609

My name is Rohan, and I am reaching out to seek your guidance and support regarding cane training and the use of the JAWS screen reader. Additionally, I am looking for information about NGOs in India that support solo travel for visually impaired individuals. I have a medical condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (Usher Syndrome type 2), which has resulted in progressive visual impairment. My journey with this condition began with night blindness in 2015 when I was 15 years old, along with mild hearing loss since birth. Until the end of 2019, I only experienced difficulty seeing at night, but from January 2020, I started noticing challenges in broad daylight as well. With the shift to remote work due to the pandemic, I avoided going out of my house since 2020. During this period, I was in the second year of my engineering studies, and working from home helped me manage my condition. However, in June 2022, when I traveled from Patna to Bhopal for my college exams, I realized that my vision had deteriorated significantly, making it difficult to navigate even in daylight. I had to rely on my friend's assistance to move around the college campus. In August 2022, I joined a reputable company in Hyderabad but faced numerous navigation challenges. After two months, I requested to work from home from my native location, which was kindly approved. It is now August 2024, and I have rarely ventured outside my house due to a lack of confidence in navigating independently. I am seeking your assistance in finding the best places in India where I can receive cane training and learn to use the JAWS screen reader. Additionally, I would appreciate any information about NGOs that support solo travel for visually impaired individuals. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance and support. Warm regards, Rohan -- Disclaimer: 1.
