Hi Sheri ,
I do not usually comment on the list. I agree that the  School for the
Blind can be a good resource for learning the skills of  blindness. It can 
be a
place for blind children to gain confidence and  independence. I am glad to
have attended and graduated from a school for the  Blind.

We must be careful what we say, all people who are  blind are different.
One cannot hide the fact that he or she has a vision loss.  There are many
capable intelligent blind people who have always been blind. The  fact that 
one
was sighted before does not give that person more or less  advantages when
it comes to living in our world. It is your faith and  surroundings and
education that makes the difference. Because of organizations  like the NFB 
life
is better for blind people, we can encourage others to reach  whatever
goals he or she wants to reach with education and skills. technology  has 
opened
many doors in the areas of employment for people with disabilities.
