Hershcel recently went to LA for the Jr. Blind Olympics. He was great with all of the kids, so some of the councelors offered him a job at the UWIN center. It is a place for blind and visually impared people to go live to get training for independent living. They also have classes in the summer for elemetary and Jr. High students to learn skills.
Hersh will start part-time there working with the little kids as he is very mobile. He will also receive some of the training for independent living to get ready for college. Mostly cleaning skills, money management etc. He does well at cooking, shopping etc. When he finishes the program, he will be hired full-time and then he can work there in the summers untill he gets his degree.
He is planning to be an IEP teacher and also get certified as an O&M instructor. (Orientation & Mobility) He wants to work with the blind and visually impaired. He does a great job now. I always thought that he would be an excellent teacher.
