[nabs-l] Preparing to attend an Nfb Training Center

[Anna Givens]

I agree there is no reason to email about this off list.  It seems very appropriate.  Im not really sure what the question is though.  Do you already have one picked out?  If not, start looking at which one would be best for you.  If you do then which one is it and Im sure the staff at te center will answer the question of how to prepare, also finding people that have gone to that center can tell you what they did to prepare.  I think the best person to ask would be the director or some staff from that particular center.

>> Hello everybody, I am actually preparing to attend the Colorado Center for the blind starting in August! Go, Denver! :-) Here's What happens first, I talked to my vocational rehabilitation counselor about why I needed training at an NFB training center. Of course, I also talked to my parents LOL! I am actually in the midst of the next process right now, trying to get all the appropriate paperwork filled out. Then I should be set to start up there in August, and I really can't wait to return to one of my favorite destinations! I have attended both the middle school and high school programs through the Colorado Center for the blind, and would strongly recommend it! I cannot speak for the Louisiana Center for the blind or blind Inc. in Maryland, I have not had any experience with those.
