I would contact your ophthamologist or The Lions Club, one of them should be able to direct you to a support groups to meet your needs.  My grampa used to volunteer with the Lions in the Lillian/ Elberta, AL area doing that kind of thing so it sound be the same in Pensacola.  However, if neither of those turn up anything contact a school for the deaf and blind they will usually have support groups affliated with them.

Here are some websites.  The first one is the material I am most familiar with.  It has lots of information about programming for those who are visually impaired.\n\nI hope this helps.

I think it differs by where you are located but your best bet is to find out who your ADA Coordinator is and contacting them about getting special accommodations for those with disabilities. If I knew where you were located I might be able to be more help.

You might want to check with some of the local churches.  Even if you are not a member, they are likely to help.  Best of luck.

There are tons. I am disabled and got a few. Try your local Independent Living Association. Also, look at the MS Foundation site. Also, the office of the disabled in each county can help you. Email me if you need more help

Yeah, depending on your level of disability.  You should have the (your state's name here) Department of Rehabilitation in your phone book.  Are you in Alabama?  If so, I know a guy (I used to work for him) that is legally blind.  He went through the blind vendors program and has two rest areas on I-65 that he keeps up (vending).  I can contact him and he can give me some names for ya, if you'd like.  E-mail me: alabama.mississippi@yahoo.com
