The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

> If you have not already done so, talk with your division for vocational
rehabilitation. If you do not have the training already written into your
individualized plan for employment (IPE) do so. DVR, or the agency that
provides services to blind adults frequently funds such training. If they
say then won't, talk with your state's NFB president.

Thus, if you do a Google search for Vocational Rehab in your state/county
you will likely get to the right office. Note that sometimes these have
different names depending upon the location, so do not worry if the title is
something like vision services...
