[nabs-l] independence centers near me

[Chris Nusbaum]

Kayla,

I would suggest checking with your rehab agency. I'm not from IL and therefore can't vouch for any training center there. However, I know there are wonderful training centers operated by the NFB in Colorado, Minnesota and Louisiana. As a graduate of the Louisiana Center for the Blind (LCB,) I can say that the program is truely life-changing and would encourage you to look into it.

In case you don't already know, there is also a list for the Illinois affiliate on NFB-Net, the same server which hosts this list. Check nfbnet.org for more information. I think it's called IL-Talk, but I'm not certain. I would recommend subscribing if you haven't already.

Good luck and welcome to the Federation family!
