[nabs-l] Re- Frustrated With High School issues

[Chris Nusbaum]

Because the lock on my locker must be a push-button combination rather than
the standard spinning knob style, my lock feels different from all the
others. Although my locker is in the middle of a row, I use this to tell
mine apart from the rest.

Hello,
I live in Europe. I never had Braille on any walls or doors and I managed
fine. For some buildings, I didn't even get adequate mobility but I
memorised layouts, counted doors and I had friends if I really needed help.
The only real issue at one point was my locker. It became tedius counting
them and they all felt the same so I labelled it myself. If you need Braille
labels on doors, pods etc, maybe write dimo labels yourself and ask for
sighted help as to where to put them?

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
