Attend the training program.  It's a great idea.

Do any of you visual impaired folks out there ever feel like your living a
life ~ half in the sighted world and half in the blind world?

I don't mean to offend anyone with this question. I merely want to know how
to understand what I am feeling. I am visually impaired and I function like
a sighted person except for a few exceptions. I can ride a bike, not on a
main road but I do enjoy riding with my children in our neighborhood and
around the lake. I read with a CCTV and use a magnifier when I am shopping
to look at price tags, labels, and ingredients. I don't use a cane unless I
am in an unfamiliar place or by myself. I did not learn braille as a youth
but am trying to learn it now. I want to see it instead of feel it (I'm
working on it). In my situation do you think it is necessary to attend a
program that will improve my blindness skills? I don't even know what they
would be?

What would you do?

Thanks,
Mari Hunziker
