well I went to a special school for a while the way its done these
days is half and half.
You stay as normal as you can.
You do do different training now days here.
As you get to sertain ages you learn newer skills eventually you
loose support in sertain areas.
anything else can be ordered depending what what is avalible or for
a price if you need it.
Though there is a list once you get old enough.

Well Tom, I'm not sure how it is in the states, but over here there
is one group of young blind people who do! conform to stomething of
a sterriotype.
I've noticed that some blind people (especially those who went to
specialist schools), are! pretty useless, expect everything to be
done for them, only associate with other blind people etc.
That aside though I do know what you mean about organizations having
specific ideas of blind people.
For instance when I asked the rnib about using a chip and pin card,
their response was that I learn one cash machine near my home, but
when i pointed out machines can come in different makes and models
with different screen prompts and such, they told me to "Get my
carer to do it" ---- rather hard, sinse I live on my own and don't
have one, ---- which surprised them ;D.
In the end I just fixed things myself by arranging with my bank to
have a signature card, so that machines will print out a receit for
me to sign when I pay for stuff with it and I can just get actual
cash at my local bank.
My point though, the rnib had no idea of a blind person living
entirely alone and not! having "a carer"
The problem is this atitude is contagious. When I was trying to
activate the wireless network on my hub but couldn't due to not
being able to read the key on the side, when I phoned the company
tech support they told me to "get someone to read it for me" and
when I pointed out there wasn't they said "that what other blind
people do" and put the phone down on me.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
