@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 My partner went to Criss Cole and could likely give you some info about it for sure, its been a while since he went there so things could have changed some, but he's always talked well of it. What are your guals more specifically I guess is a good place to start, what areas do you want help in?

@blindbat84 Whatever skills I need to get out of the house. Some things I know, some things I'm learning and could brush up on.

@JesseF8693 You are in canada right? Is there no equivelant of a state vocational rehabilitation government agency to reach out to for skills training? I know squat about Canadian government stuff except some of the accessibility laws, nothing on actual govenmental disability oriented bodies.

@blindbat84 There's vision loss rehab, but I don't feel like I get the most out of them. There are no training centres in Canada like there are across the border, so specialists will just come to your house for a few hours then leave. I want to immerse myself more fully into the experience, if that makes any sense. But without family behind me.

@JesseF8693 That makes absolute sense. Hopefully you can get some good suggestions. Please, no NFB centers, especially with the crap they've had to deal with lately. Being that you are from Canada, I don't know the procedure for getting into a center, but I guess the first step is if you find one you may be interested in, reach out to them and explain your situation and see what the process is. I know normally state vocational rehab usually has a hand in that but may not always.

@blindbat84 NFB run or just partners in general? I do remember hearing something about sexual harassment a couple years ago.
