[Nfbv-announce] Access to O&M Services and other options for CLB and NFB partnership

[Tracy Soforenko]

Hi Kim,

 

I hope the rest of you and your daughter's convention experience was good.

 

Thanks for talking with me on Sunday, July 8 at the national Federation of
the Blind conference. You were taking some notes about our follow up action
items and I don't recall receiving them.

I have a number of individuals  who need O&M training in Virginia. 

 

We will be running a program for students 14-21 where we have partnered with
the ENDependence Center of Northern Virginia. I could see us partnering with
CLB for some O&M training.

I have a number of members who need O&M training right now. Some have
recently move to the DMV and they might not have a local VR case. Can we tap
the grant to obtain O&M training for these individuals? We have some seniors
who need some training as well. What is the process for making these
connections?
