>It is extremely important that blind individuals receive training 
>from teachers who possess good blindness skills.  Teachers of the 
>blind must believe in the skills they are teaching and in the 
>abilities of blind people.  Members of the National Federation of 
>the Blind who have been through our graduate programs are excellent 
>teachers because of their philosophy about blindness.  Graduates of 
>our programs are continually sought after, having numerous 
>employment opportunities upon graduation.

>We are looking for individuals who are ready to enter a graduate 
>program, but we are also interested in speaking with anyone who may
