[Blindtlk] message regarding Independence 2011

HI Humberto,
You are correct; I recall reading last year was the first year for 
Independence 2010.
I attended a similar program during high  school and found it to be 
different from many restrictive ways I was taught by mobility and braille 
instructors. The expectations were higher, the weeks were intensive and 
draning but the outcome was more confidents and a better understanding of my 
ideas of blindness.
If your state doesn't offer a comparable program definitely consider 
Independence 2011.
Best wishes

Hello fellow listers.

Has anyone here attended the youth summer program "Independence"
from Blind Industries and services of Maryland? Did anyone attend
the independence 2010 last summer? If so, can you tell me any
experiences you've had about the program? Is it a program worth
going to?
Also, if you have attended any other summer program for the
blind, like for example at your local or state agencies, are
those summer programs better/worse than the Independence
2010? (I am not sure, but I believe they've started this
program last year please correct me if I'm wrong.)
But yes, any comments are welcome and I don't care if I have to
move out of my house for 7 weeks and go 3000 miles away from
home, but I still want to get independent living services and
orientation and mobility.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Humberto
