[rehab] mobility as a Career

[Dick Davis]

Hi Tami,
We have three NOMC certified instructors working at BLIND, Inc.  We'd love
to have you come here.  If you want to do that, we will work with your state
agency to bring it about.  We can get around any agency arguments.  I am a
former state director so I know what is truth and what is a lie.  I am sure
Colorado and Louisiana would help you too, if you wanted to go there.
Dick Davis

Hi Tami,
There are a lot of us out there.  Have you tried to get into an orientation
center in another state such as the NFB centers?

Aw, but what's the good in earning the right to say neener neener if you
don't do it when you get a chance?  /grin/

I've been told that in this state blind people can't be O&M instructors
because, well...  All you blind O&M instructors have probably heard it more
than I have.  I don't want to go be one; I just never thought that made any
sense whatsoever.  Many things our VR agency declare to be true as absolutes
don't make sense and turn out to not be true at all, so I guess that's
another one.  Sigh.

Would love to have a blind O&M instructor myself.  That's why I love all the
NFB mailing lists.  If I need to know how to do something and can't figure
it out myself, I can just ask someone who knows.  /evil grin/  I love to
snark, too!

Oops.  I got mixed up.  You would think I would remember because the
director at FSU told me back in the eighties that no blind person would ever
enroll in his program.  He's dead now and I am an O.&M. teacher.  Sorry for
the snark, couldn't resist.
