Blind people studying meteorology
by widearc2000＠gmail.com 14 Jan '20

14 Jan '20

Good morning folks, I have a client who is interested in meteorology. This is not uncommon in Oklahoma but she is worried that she will not be able to find a way to make it accessible. Since I?m not a meteorologist, I thought I would turn to the community and see if anybody out there knew any blank people working in meteorology or taking meteorology courses. They might be able to advise my client if I can track someone down. Also, as always, I am looking for blind contacts in nursing or other aspects of the medical profession. If anyone has clients, friends, or acquaintances who are blind in either of these professions, would you please give them my email address. My current email address is widearc2000 at gmail.com Thanks a bunch and I will see you all in Houston, Sent from my iPhone
