Greetings,

The New Mexico Commission for the Blind Orientation Center is seeking a 
motivated individual to join our team and provide instruction in cane travel 
using the structured discovery method of teaching.  The Orientation Center 
holds the highest levels of certification offered by the National Blindness 
Professional Certification Board, NBPBC, and the Commission on Accreditation 
for Rehabilitation Facilities, CARF.  Our Center provides individualized 
instruction using the Structured Discovery model of teaching.  With an 
average of ten to twelve students, a mentoring program, and weekly community 
based activities, staff and students function as a large family.  Our team 
of instructors is skilled and knowledgeable in our seven training areas and 
has been described as enthusiastic, energetic, and solidly grounded in 
positive philosophy believing that blind people truly can achieve their 
goals of living and working independently.

Under clear blue skies, Alamogordo is nestled in the Tula Rosa Basin 
surrounded by the majestic Sacramento Mountains.  The area offers a variety 
of outdoor activities including hiking, snow skiing, Han gliding, hot air 
ballooning, horseback riding, and sand sledding year round.  Las Cruces and 
El Paso provide access to shopping and entertainment without the headaches 
of living in a large city.
