[Ohio-talk] ADL Skills

[Cheryl Fields]

I agree with this. Years ago when my children were younger, I went to
California for guide dog training. It was traumatic for my children and me
too. I received adl training at Cleveland Sight Center and it was excellent.
At that time, 80's, I was not aware of the nfb or the centers. But, that
would not have been an option for me. I needed to come home everyday,
children. It made it easy to use the new skills and ask questions when I
made mistakes or something was not covered to fit my situation.

Rachel, that is something very important to consider.  I left my family for
almost 4 weeks to get my dogs.  My children were very young when I went the
first time.  That is why a center that is closer or in Ohio would be great.
People could go for the training during the week and come home on the
weekend, if they allow that.

That situation might be when you need to work with a rehabilitation teacher
who would come to your home for an hour or 2 per week.  I think that is why
choices are so important.
