[blparent] Orientation and Mobility Advice Column

[Jeff Crouch]

Hello.
I am really looking forward to reading the articles. I am getting ready to
go and do my national orientation and mobility certification program. as a
father of a seven-month-old daughter this will definitely interest me.

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 live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Thanks and warmest regards.
