[nabs-l] Training: As needed, or all at once?

[Jim Reed]

Hello all, 
I am just thinking about blind training, and I am just not sure to what extent it is practical for me right now. A friend has told me that blind training has made her function better as a visually impaired person, but I am just not sure to what extent it is justifiable to ask VR to send me to a training center (to learn braile for example), when I currently don't need braile, and there is no guarantee that I ever will need braile. Also, it seems like a lot of time and effort on my part to learn what are currently non-essential skills. On the other hand, I am going to begin working with my VR offices OM specialist because I realize that the cane is essential for me to travel at night.  

Thoughts?
Jim
