It was certainly a good two day event covering many professions, and wherever we see our caller would benefit from it, we do direct them to request XRCVC for its copy. Will also try to get the articles by AICB mentioned by Geetha. This would atleast add to the compilation of reference material about professions/occupation where we have successful precedences. thanks, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A knowledge resource for living a fuller life with vision loss C/o Score Foundation, 17/107, Basement, Vikram Vihar, Lajpatnagar 4, New Delhi 110024, INDIA.

These lectures were specifically for the visually challenged and may help to Initiate the process of career guidance. did read your mail that you wanted a general resource but i don't know of any so I thought that these lectures would help.
