<DIV>Hi Delcenia,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't heard anyone say which night the seminar was going to be
on. They talking about another work shop of SSP's. The meeting for
the conference call was moved to the 29th. We should know something then.
I believe pres. Joe had to hear from Baltimore about scheduling.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope you can go Delcenia. Thank you for asking. Are you on
Janice's e-mail list? She is the one who will e-mail members of the
numbers and time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Marvelous Monday to you. xxxx Cheri</DIV>

<DIV>Hi everyone and welcome Anjelina, Scot has some good point.
I was only going to add that maybe you should have the blind services
evaluate you on mobility and hopefully the mobility instructor can tell the
agency whether or not you can safely cross alone or need aids aor
assistence. Maybe a guide dog will help.</DIV>
<DIV>All these things can be worked out with counselor. </DIV>
<DIV>Well, let us know how you do. </DIV>
<DIV>Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. Cheri</DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Hi
Anjelina and welcome to the list.<BR>There are a few things that come to
mind, though what those are<BR>depends on the circumstances of the
crossing. For example, when you<BR>are at a street where there is light
traffic and no stop sign, you may<BR>be able to compensate by turning your
left ear to face the right side<BR>quickly and then back. Obviously, if
the sound becomes louder in your<BR>left ear when you turn toward it, the
vehicle is on your right side.<BR>Granted, this assumes the cars are
moving more slowly since you're on<BR>a street corner with less
traffic.<BR>For more busy intersections, you may find that due to your
slight<BR>hearing loss, you will still be able to detect surges in
traffic, so<BR>this may not be such an issue. Though with surges, you may
also find<BR>the same method above will be enough to get you to where you
need to<BR>go relatively safely. However, I'd recommend before just using
this<BR>method, that you go with someone who has enough hearing or vision
to<BR>the corners you frequent and try to determine whether you think
a<BR>crossing is safe or not.<BR>I'm sure others can give you some tips
and tricks as well, these are<BR>just some inicial thoughts.<BR><BR>Happy
Saturday!<BR>Scott<BR><BR>On 4/17/15, Anjelina via nfb-db <<A

Good day list,<BR>> My name is Anjelina and I am new to the list. I am
