Hello, This contact information is for a VR counselor who wants to talk to a blind O&M instructor who is employed in the field. She is trying to get justification for paying for a client to come to the O&M program but needs verification that blind people can actually teach travel. I know, half a century of progress and so many still don't get it. Still, if a few of you would not mind giving this person a call or email I would appreciate it. She does seem willing to help her client but this is such a foreign concept to her.

Could you please send me some articles on individuals with blindness working as an O&M instructor? 2. How many legally blind students have graduated from your program and actually are working as O&M instructors? 3. It is possible to get one of your graduates who is legally blind contact information? I am asked to do an informational interview. Our administrator asked me to gather information on above questions. Thank you very much!
