[Blind-rollers] Blind-rollers Digest, Vol 21, Issue 6

[AgapeDEW at aol.com]

Carol, I too was told about this organization by my mobility specialist  from 
Lighthouse for Blind.  She thought it would be good for me to see how  others 
met challenges that had vision loss and in a wheelchair.  For  awhile, we 
were sharing lots of back and forth dialog which was helpful but  suddenly it 
stopped.  Just networking asking what type of program you use  for reading on 
your computer can be helpful (I use jaws).  I am seeking a  career now that I can 
work in a wheelchair and with the vision loss so hearing  from people in 
different careers is also good for me.  I think Laura wrote  before that this is 
why this site was set up in the first place...to  network.  I also know it gets 
info out about the conventions etc but to be  truthful, I would love to lobby 
but my loss of my career has caused economic  hardship on my family.  There 
is NO way I could afford to go to conferences  etc.  So, at least I can read 
about the conference and new equipment being  presented at the conferences and 
conventions.  
Write me anytime.  I will be glad to talk to you.  deb

From: Carol Rucker
I am a bit confuse, I was  told about Blind Rollers about nine months ago
and decided to join;
but  I have not yet read, or learn anything that about technique and info
that  would help a Blind person 
that used a wheelchair and power chair. This  population is still so not
recognized, even by NFB in the 
quarterly  Magazine there is nothing. Am I on the wrong site?
