[NFB-DB] Future plans?

[Gerardo Corripio]

  Hi guys
I've got 70% hearing lossthus that's why I'm posting on here the topic 
of the US, thus if you could guys also provide info on deafblindness 
services etc aside from the questions below? The topic of me moving to 
the US (my Dad and I got to talking of my future last night, something I 
cant talk with my Mom unfortunately) came up again, and he left me for 
homework to begin investigating; fortunately or unfortunately I'm of 
those who begins to see things kind of hard and gives up! anyway My 
goals of working over there are, taking advantages of my Psychological 
knowledge, and apply that to blindness technology (performing tech 
evaluations, writing up reports recommending this or that piece of 
equipment for such person depending on their abilities, psychological 
profile etc); maybe going and teaching the use of the recommended 
technology to the person who got it etc. Is this a crazy idea? does such 
job field exist over there? What is required to study for such a job, 
and how long is the course of study? And where is the best place to work 
in such a field? Small cities, large ones? My moving options until now 
are Brownsville/McAllen (the Rio Grande Valley) San Antonio/Austin or 
houston. is it true that one can use Taxis called Paratransit that 
charge a bit less for ride, and where is it more common to have such 
Taxi service? Small cities, large ones? Apartments and such are their 
living facilities for the blind or some sort of arrangement, not to be 
frowned upon or be treated like kids, but to start getting used to 
living on my own? My dad says that he'd sale everything and at least 
while I get things straightened out, be with me for a time; then spacing 
out the visits etc. Lots of questions I know, but well let's hope things 
this time do get going! Several months back I posted this topic, but for 
X or Y things kind of got on StandBy, but taking my Dad's word this 
time, I'm kind of getting excited/nervous! So thanks for ideas!
