JesseWhat are everyone's thoughts on training centres for blind people like this one?

Worth attending? A terrible idea?

@JesseF8693 In my opinion, it highly depends on who runs the center, what other people's experience s have been like etc. There are some really great facilities I've heard of aorund the US that are pretty awesome, but there are several that just plain suck on all levels. I've heard Colorado has a good one and Texas has Criss Cole I've heard good things about. Never heard of the one you mentioned.
@blindbat84 I am open to recommendations. The family isn't too keen on sending me across the border but at this point, I don't care what they think. I do have agency over my own life, and Canada isn't the centre of the world, for better or worse
@JesseF8693 I've never been to one myself, I checked out the state one in Illinois and decided it was not for me as I had already learned my life skills I needed. I did get vocational rehab for O&M and other blindness related skills like braille, but not much else. The Blind Institute of Technology is the only other disabled focused org I've gotten involved with and it has been the best thing ever so far.
