[nabs-l] Daniel ROmero -- Introduction

Tue Feb 8 16:15:57 UTC 2011

How do these NFB Centers help newly blinded adults then?  What purpose do 
you have going to a center like this if you can essentially get the same 
thing from a visiting rehab instructor in your own place!  I successfully 
graduated from the Carroll Center and I'm a very independent person.  Do you 
happen to know a guy by the name of Kacey Lackrets?  He and I were in the 
same Carroll Center program.  He is in college at NYU and is an NJ native as 
well.
