Re: Training Centers
For right now, all I really need out of a blindness center is cane travel/mobility, and lots of it. I seriously would be content waking up and spending all day, every day, for a few months, just working on mobility cane travel, since my skills are seriously that bad. A combination of bad instructors for a few years, followed by no instruction for a few years, followed by more bad instruction leaves me in a pretty bad place. I have no idea how, for instance, public transportation works around here, or anywhere, for that matter. Don't ask me how to cross a street safely, because I don't know. As you can tell, serious issues, and I have no idea what to do about it.
I figured a center could also help me with other blindness skills, too, like general stuff to do around your house, cooking, etc. Since I already know braille inside and out, I figured I could learn print – that might prove useful. But I have no idea what center to go to, I'd prefer something for as long as possible, like the 9-month NFB ones...But as you say, there's no real information. And nobody around here even listens to what I have to say. Interrupt college for some blindness bullshit? No way! Even though this "blindness bullshit" as they call it is really damn important and useful.
