Hi Dr. Smith,

 

Thanks so much for returning my call!  I think that I have called every single resource that I could Google about my reader issue J  Unfortunately I have not had any luck.most agencies do not provide the service or do not have volunteers. I have yet to call Goodwill, so hopefully that will add up to something.

 

As for forming a relationship between NFB Ohio and the VA, I think that's a great idea!  I am the new Blind Rehabilitation Outpatient Specialist (BROS) and I work with Matt Page. A lot of people in the community know his name! So what I'll be doing is itinerant work in and outside of Columbus for the veterans that would like to learn independent living skills.

 

Please let me know what NFB Ohio is up to and if you have anything going on in the community on a regular basis! I'm trying to form a resource guide, and that information would be great to have J

 

A pleasure meeting you, and thanks again for all of the information!

 

Thanks,
