[rehab] question for the list

[Angel]

I am a consumer, and wouldn't accept training from someone who wasn't 
proficient in the skills I wish to learn without sight.  I learned Braille 
from sighted teachers who read the code with their fingers alone without 
sight, and was taught to cook  and clean, and iron by a totally blind 
person.  I think the quality improves when the sighted person uses the same 
skills on an equal footing with me.
