Hi,
I have a question: if I'm not able to get any mobility training here in the
Okemos Michigan area from a mobility instructer, would I have to turn to a
couple of blind friends who would be able to show me the proper way of
crossing streets?
I want this video that I'm going to have help from some one who is sighted
to be perfect.
I want no errors.
I don't want to have anything in the video that would make the two schools
out in california to say that I'm not eligible for a guide dog because I'm
unable to do this properly.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders
