[nfbwatlk] where to recruit blind individuals

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Don't know whether you've done this already, but you might want to contact places like the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library.  Perhaps put an announcement on the Evergreen Radio Reading Service. 

This reminds me.  I've been asked to try to obtain a list of vendors of aids and appliances, etc, for blind persons in the U.S. I wonder if someone has developed an exhaustive list of such entities.  Anyone on the list have any ideas?

Thanks.

We're still looking for individuals who became blind (using the definition
of having visual acuity of light perception or worse) before the age of
three.

 

We've sent emails to you guys and WCB but we're still short of subjects who
meet all our fussy criteria. 

 

I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas about other places we can try
to recruit?

 

Suggestions really welcome
