[nabs-l] nfb and stuff

No, Chris Cole is not an NFB training center. From what I understand knowing 2 people who live in Texas that were encouraged to go, the expectations are considerably lower than these of the NFB training centers and although people are successful, they are not required to do as much.

Then, depending on which one you would like to go to, or if you are still interested in all of them, contact the directors of the centers. They should be very helpful. I attended the Louisiana Center for the Blind and we had an instructor and a student from Canada, as well as students from Poland and Iceland. I can't tell you that it will be a smooth process, but unless you try you will never know, and if you really want it it will happen eventually.
