[nabs-l] NFB Training Center

[Sophie Trist]

Allie, I've attended Louisiana Center for the Blind's STEPP 
program, which should be similar to the one at CCB.  You 
typically have classes in braille, technology, cooking/cleaning, 
and travel. There are only about two or three people in each 
class, so you get a lot of one-on-one instruction, which I really 
liked. On weekends, we went on fun excursions to do things like 
ropes courses. For the last half of the program, students were 
given a minimum wage job out in the community. Mine was bathing 
dogs at a grooming place. You also get to go to national 
convention! I am totally blind, so I have never personally used a 
sleepshade. However, I know many people who have, and they say 
that while it takes a few days to get used to, it isn't as 
frightening as people initially thinkk it is. Have fun! I'm sure 
this will be a great experience for you.
