The first thing is to see your Vocational Rehabilitation counselor if you can show your Vocational Counselor a need for your work such as going to meetings, seminars that is a direct work connection, remember Vocational Counselors wants to keep us working, and have a great day!

Hi:
The trick is to link your need for the GPS system to employment. If you can identify that travel to new places is a part of the job and that GPS would make you better on the job, you will have an excellent argument. If it would help you to get to work and help with shopping, it will not be a good enough argument. 

Best of luck.

Hi.  As i've said here before, the state I live in just got me a

brand new

braille.note m-power but even though I've giventhe justiification

as to why

I feel gps would be benificial and important, I don't think they

are going

to get it, and in fact I can't even get a response to my e-mails

on the

topic.  I don't know if the counselor has just been gone for

several days  or

what, But I wondered what others did to afford the gups which I

can't

outright right now or I wouldn't worry about it.  Are there

places who help

with grands or technology loans or anything I can try other than

my state

rehab system? Any ideas would be great.  thanks

Greetings,



I am new to this list and excited about learning everything I can

about

Sendero Group's revolutionary development of the Cadillac of

accessible GPS

systems and in particular, the WayFun 2008.



I hope to bring to bear all of my experience as a Certified

Blindness

Professional as well as hoping to keep alive my personal sense of

adventure.


For my part, I could envision a wonderful time exploring

America's hidden

treasures in the Heartland.



Frankly, Death Valley sounds kind of fun, too, with the

cautionary note of

extreme attention given to safety.  From what I understand, it's

brutal down

there!



I wish I had along with me the Sendero Group GPS in the Himalayas

back in

2001 when I served as Base Camp Communications Manager for the

2001 NFB

Everest Expedition that featured Erik Weihenmayer, the first

blind guy to

summit the highest  peek on earth and subsequently those on each

of the

seven continents.



Of course, I'd definitely welcome the chance to be part of a

future WayFun

exploration of America's Mid Atlantic Region, as well.  It offers

beautiful

rolling hills and valleys, vast eastern shore beeches, fast paced

urban

travel, and plenty of nooks and crannies in which to get lost up

in those

Appalachian Hollers.



I would consider this to be structured discovery travel at its

best.


Fun & Safe Travels too all,
