[CT-NFB] Blind Inc.

Good evening,
I apologize in advance for my ignorance. What kind of training and for how long?

Respect fully,

Dr. Maurer actually wrote a really nice article in the Braille Monitor within the past year or so about what it means for something to be an NFB training center. Rather than summarize it, I want to recommend that you check it out. If someone has time to find that article and post a link, that would be great! It may be possible that you read the BM every month, since that’s something I do as a matter of being involved in our movement.

Also, Brian Martin went there for a summer program. There was a guy named Dave Neese (not sure on the surname spelling) from South Windsor who went to BLIND Inc for training around 2014-2015. I believe he met Dick Davis at the state convention that we did in New London with the Employment Seminar, and that led to him going to training at BLIND Inc. Then, he came back to the one we did in Middlebury while he was a student, and Dan Wenzel was there with him to represent the center.
