That is absolutely criminal!

Hi tom.
I have actually said before the Us services and a certain amount of their
attitudes are better.
While there are individual brailling or reading services for the rnib, the
price for them is prohibitively expensive, and the time taken is
ridiculous. For instance, when i was doing my disertation, before I'd
sorted the hole digital recorder routine, we got a book read onto cd by
the rnib that it would need. It however cost about 200 pounds to have this
done which was paid out of my readers' grant (that's about 300 usd), and
furthermore, they refused to put it into the main library, meaning that if
someone else asked them tomorrow for the same book they'd get charged the
same fee. That to me is not! the behaviour of a charity.
And getting items brailled is even worse, though luckily I can fix that
myself. To be honest, the Rnib are so damnably useless given their view of
blind people, these days my approach personally is to have as little to do
with them as possible, and either do things myself (these days I manage my
own readers' grant paying for assistance which works far better and in
fact cheaper, plus can read dynamically according to what I need done at
the time), concentrate on smaller, but better agencies like guide dog
services, who naturally deal with a more flexible view of the capabilities
of blind people, for example I've already mentioned the rather extreme
guide dog holidays group.
the only sad thing is they don't get the government or public funding the
Rnib does.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
