[NAGDU] Apprentice Instructor

[Cindy Ray]

I don't think it is so different from blind mobility instructors, as
Vivianna said before. There would certainly have to be alternative
techniques. I am sure they exist, but since I have no desire to be a blind
instructor, and they wouldn't take me anyway because of my age I think, I
have no idea ow to do it.
