> Hello Gang,

> A while back I seem to remember hearing of some video
> training that supposedly taught O&M. Not sure if it was
> online or not, though. I'm also thinking it was
> something to do with the AER, but might be wrong.
> Anyone know of such resources?
>
> Also, can you think of any other ideas as to how to
> help a newly blinded senior citizen who wants to learn
> cane travel? He's in a remote area with no one nearby,
> apparently, to jump on over too easily & help him out.
> Also, the state agency & other regional agencies aren't
> giving him much help so far, either. Got any ideas?

> BTW, this gentleman has had a stroke and that's why he
> lost his sight. But apparently he has no mobility
> impairments from it. He's going home from the nursing
> home soon, so I'm assuming would like to learn to get
> around town in general, not just within a confined
> space such as a nursing home.

> Thanks in advance for any help here. I do love hearing
