E>May I say. I had an experience with the sight center inCleveland.
I went to see about my guides eye exam. first of all few people signed up.
Secondly I was directed to where to go and where to sit.
It felt as I were a child who didn't have some sort of brain.
I also was told where no t go go.
It is still pretty similar as it was when I worked there.
bossy sitted folks talking to as as though we were stupid.
It felt to uncomfortable, that would t=be the last placer I would go.

I had a meeting recently as my eyes are dimming. The woman form the state
of Ohio Rehab
talked to me as though I had a brain. enface she taught me how to prevent
hitting my head
on the refrigerator. she said there were many ways to be safe and live
independently.
 I was pleased with the service. This woman  was not from the sight
center. The interviewer
told me that no one out here a chose the rehab person from the sight center.
I would love to have the opportunity to go to the NFB. Centers. Megan and
Ms.P>






 I am a little tired of the NFB Centers thread at this point. Perhaps some
