"We say with great insistence, that the ordinary blind person can do the ordinary job in the ordinary place of business and do it as well as the ordinary sighted person, and we mean by that, that the extraordinary blind person can do the extraordinary job in the extraordinary place of business and do it as well as any extraordinary sighted person can..." —Dr. Marc Maurer at the NFB 2001 Everest Expedition Celebration.

Answer 5

how about spell checker for friends that can't spell college?
well, she could do that now at least, while she still has sight...

Honestly, I'd have her go to the V.A. website and see what jobs they have posted. They are always looking for people, and people with special needs are given priority over those without when it comes to getting hired. Plus the VA operates everywhere, so she may not have to relocate or anything.

Good luck to your friend.
