[Blindtlk] [blindtlk] training centers

[Ineyda Velasquez]

When I talked to devision of blind services I was told I had to write a justification for why I'd rather go to louisiana than daytona and they had to send it to tallahassee to get it approved. Then they'd send a referral.

They all teach search and discover with cane travel, living skills, education for college, braille, etc.  Plus these are NFB Schools. If you want to try to get into one of these schools and you are in FL, try reaching out to Dan Hicks who is the President of the NFB of FL, or Dwight Sayer who is the Vice President of Fl.

>> Hello,
>> I am considering centers to go to for independent living. I live in Florida and I know there is one in Daytona. But I also read about one in Louisiana, which sounds even better. I was wondering if anyone could compare both centers or recommend others. I was once told that Daytona might not accept me because of other medical conditions, but if it sounds better to me then I will fight to get in.
