Happy Late- week fellow federationests/scholars,

have an experience as a student in a successful training center
environment.
On this call, we will talk about what an National Federation of
the Blind training center is and where they and state-ran training
centers for the blind tend to differ.
We also will talk about informed choice; what it means, why it’s
important, and hear from individuals who have exercised their right
to informed choice in order to get the training they considered best
for themselves.
And we, of course will discuss what questions, comments, or
topics of interest anybody wants to add to the conversation.
All who are interested in going to a training center of some kind, as
well as those who are going or have graduated from a training center
