[nabs-l] Daniel ROmero -- Introduction

Brian:

Over many years, NFB Centers have developed a program for teaching 
adjustment to blindness that is somewhat different from more 
traditional programs like the Carroll Center.  As they say, "the 
proof is in the pudding" and the system works.

The best way to learn something is to have to actually do it -- hence 
apartments off the bat.  You have the support and help of your fellow 
students so I am sure it is not as jarring as you might think.

Your message seems to say there is a right and best way to do things 
-- and the Carroll Center does it.

This isn't necessarily so -- there are thousands of people in the NFB 
who can attest otherwise.
