[blparent] My story and request for help- training centers

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

So do government-ran training centers. I trained at Iowa, and I was
there for nine months. The Nebraska center requires 6 to 9 months as
does Hawaii, Kansas, when they had one, Illinois; in fact, any center
I've ever heard of requires this much time. Most centers, private or
not, require 6 to 9 months, at least the good ones insist upon this. Of
course, consumers always have the right to dictate this and can stop
whenever they want or feel ready, though I don't advise this to most.

>From what I understand, Pipi lost a lot of her vision after her daughter
was born.  This is why though I am of the opinion that though the nfb
centers provide wonderful training and are probably the best training
centers, from what I know they require a 6 to 9 month commitment not
everyone can simply get up and leave their home for that amount of time.
