I have  been to the blind center in Augusta.  I spent 7 weeks there in  2006. 
 I found their program to be quite professional.  I have no  experience with 
anything but the VA.  What can you do better?

Please provide more  details, such  as  the site, qualifications of 
instructors,
curriculum.  Where  will the training site be, and how  big of a campus? Bill

I know, with all its faults, the VA pioneered the type of training that the
