[nfb-talk] Leaving My Family To Attend Training

[Francisco Salvador Crespo]

Hello.

I attended the NFB's Colorado Center. It was a life changing experience that I will never forget. The skills that i've learned will be with me for the rest of my life.
I would highly recommend you going to an NFB training facility. If you get in touch with the Florida affiliate of the federation they may help you to get Vocational Rehabilitation to pay the cost, which is how most students get there. There are also some scholarship opportunities that you can talk about with the center's directors.

Best.

My quest began with the Perkins School For The Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. I soon discovered that they do not serve any blind adults over the age of twenty-two.

Last week my parents and I took a tour of the Center, and we were impressed with what we saw. The facilities were clean and all of the staff members were professional. I will be participating in the Independent Living Skills Program offered at the Rehab Center. How do I prepare to leave my family to attend training?
