[NFBF-L] training centers

[Janet Beyer]

Hello this is Janet, good luck with that one. In my process of getting training I was refused three times for the NFB training center do that we have contracts you’re in Florida with Tampa lighthouse now they’re good but they’re not that good. No braille and other stuff better at the moment I can’t remember, their training is two weeks and every In each task. The only one on one will be the mobility training everything else is in a group this group is in different levels meaning you will have people still in the kindergarten level, middle school etc. etc.

>> Yes, you can get NFB training from DBS provided that you can provide sufficient justification for NFV training   Also, I would hold off on getting a guide dog if you want this training. You can bring a guide dog to training, but you will not use it in travel class. I would focus  on getting great cane skills. Then get the dog if you still want one.

>>> I tried applying for Blind Inc.’s adult program 2 years ago as I went through their young adult program in 2010.
>>> Back then I was in New York and they had no problem sending me since they didn’t have a training center of their own, but when I applied down here they shut me down saying I didn’t show enough cause.
>>> Anyway that’s something I’m planning on doing once I get my guide dog and finish that whole transition plus take care of most of my undergraduate work, which should take about a year if my planning is right, so I was wondering if anyone had actually done it, and if so what advice/tips etc. do you have?
