<DIV><FONT size=5>Well, that sounds bad! Here in Texas, you can open a
case six months after moving here! I know some states like Louisiana run
out of money at june or something, they have to wait till the fall to get
more money to run the services! Do you havea perkins brailler or a slate
and stylus? I know our NLS program here in Texas used to lend the
braillers out from the library! Did you contact the local NFB chapter, it
helps to have support to justify what you need! You can get a free cane
from the NFB. I know hadley gives out free abacuses when you take the
course but I don't know if they give out slates or not! Heather

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Heather,<BR><BR> Thanks for
answering. I have started a case with the State Department<BR>and asked
for cane and technology training. Of course, they claim they have<BR>no
money, and are turning almost everyone away. And all who are unable
to<BR>work in a paid job, which is most people, unless they live in a city, due
to<BR>transportation issues. <BR><BR> I do have
Braille on my list of Hadley courses to take. <BR><BR>April
