Sherri, in order to be refereed to the Conklin Center you must first be
blind visually impaired with a secondary physical, cognitive or
psychological disability.

I always understood that the Conklin Center was for those with multiple
disabilities, while the Rehab Center is for those who are blind.

Not trying to defend or defy anyone, but I was wondering where would
someone
with such questions go if not to the people constituting the largest and
oldest organization of the blind? I assumed that this list was a proper
forum for such queries regarding an organization claiming to be
educating/rehabilitating  the blind.
Your suggestion that the center itself can answer those questions is
appropriate, but how much can someone trust what the center has to say
about
itself?
