Jen, I'd love to talk. If you write me off list, I'll give you a phone number.

Hi Judy,

I get your point about housekeeping. But I have had limited orientation and mobility and cooking training. In regard to orientation and mobility, I have never lived near public transportation so haven't had opportunities to cross streets. Also, problem-solving is a huge weak spot for me.

Hi, Jen,

No, it is not necessary to attend an NFB center in order to become proficient at housekeeping, but the centers are great, and if you can attend one, you will gain a lot of life-long knowledge.

Definitely check out the flylady.net site and get on board with some of their suggestions for people seriously wanting to organize and begin to take housekeeping seriously.

Also Google anything you want to know.  You may adopt a lot of techniques you come across, or also think up some of your own, as you get into exploring the how-tos.  You are not limited to any set of housekeeping techniques specifically for blind people.  Don't be afraid to explore and try.

Judy

Sort of a tag on my "House Cleaning thread.

I am considering attending an NFB center after the pandemic. For those who attended, what was it like? For all of you - is it necessary to attend an NFB  center to become a successful, competent blind person? And are all NFB center graduates successful?
