[nabs-l] Nfb training centres

[sophie trist]

Amanda, I'm another recent LCB graduate. There are five classes: braille, technology, travel, home ec, and industrial arts. Braille and technology were combined in a 2-hour block, while every other class was two hours.  All students with any sight are required to wear sleepshades.
