[Community-service] Alternative techniques, community service and their connection

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Darian thanks for your message. Yes even though I am not a member of the Federation I have heard the term alternative techniques. To me alternative techniques are different ways of acomplishing certain tasks. All three of the Nfb training centers teach their students to use alternative techniques on a daily basis. Explaining the use of alternative techniques means demonstrating how blind people can be involved in the community.
