Hi list,
I would be interested to know how good (or otherwise) O&M training and other
independent living skills is in England and/or other countries represented
on this list. I know all too well the typical scenario of being put on a
waiting list and then, when one is finally attended to, one is lucky to get
twice a week mobility training (I'm in Australia). I would be interested to
know what the situation is like for you people - eg how long would one
normally expect to wait for O&M, and how many hours a week would one
receive? And are mobility instructors in your country making use of modern
aids such as GPS for the blind, or is this something which only happens if
and when the client has access to their own device?
Regards
Vivien
