[Nfbc-info] local blind man seeks resources

[Michael Hingson]

Lisa et al,

I recall that there is a gentleman who lives in the Sacramento area who is
blind and who does use a manual chair. I suspect that there are others.

The Blind rollers list consists mainly of members using power chairs, but
there may well be manual chair users on that list. I subscribe to the list
and will, with your permission, send your email to the list.

Thanks. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Lisa and all,
I will respond to the listserv because I think this is a good question, and
a question worth knowing. In answer to for all of us.
I know of one person who uses a cane in conjunction with their wheelchair. I
am unaware of how feasible it is with the manual chair, but no someone that
uses a power chair and was successful in doing this.
I also know that there is a list serve for blind people who use wheelchairs
that I believe is call "blind rollers" on NFBNET.org/mailman/list info This
is what I know of at this time. I hope it is helpful, Darian
