[Blindtlk] [blindtlk] training centers

[Cherylandmaxx]

I wasn't on the rest of the day when this was posted but am I the only one on this list that knows the search and discover mobility training. Unless I am saying it wrong. I have not been to an NFB school but this is what they call can travel. I have learned about this from NFB members who have learned this technique.  Members of the list that have more experience can explain.  When you learn mobility travel you mostly learn one way of finding you way around but if that route is on available or you are in a new place. It teaches you to find other ways around the are.

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 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.

Hello everyone,

     I believe she means Structured-Discovery Learning. This system of
learning is used throughout all aspects of the curriculum at our
training centers.
