[Jobs] FW: Communications Instructor position in LincolnNebraska

[Fred Olver]

Would you want a lawyer trained by a firm rather than one that was 
university trained? Would you want a doctor trained by a hospital rather 
than a medical school? Would you want a social worker trained by an agency 
rather than one who is university trained? So why should newly blind 
individuals not expect the quality training a university program offers? Why 
do you assume that university training is somehow less than adequate for 
people who work with blind folks and not in other areas? I've seen some of 
those individuals trained within agencies, one example of bad training is 
that the individuals who were trained had no concept of what two-handed 
reading of Braille was and also had no desire to learn the reasons why it 
was necessary.
