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

[Sarah Alawami]

I'd loearn everything the training centers offer you as you never know what
you might  end up using as a traid. You might not need braille but you might
encounter  someone who needs to learn it or you might need  to read
something and you don't feel like using your eyes.

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
