[nfb-talk] Possible Future plans

[Gerardo Corripio]

  Hi guys
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!
