Absolutely! I am on SSDI. I live in Az. Go to (or call) your State Rehabilitation Office in your town, (listed in your phone book under State Government or call your local Soc. Sec. office). I attend college & am in second year now. You will have your own Rehab counselor all the way through your education (unless you prefer someone else). He or she is also your Advocate & will represent you in all dealings w/ school, if you want --also, go w/ you when graduated & represent you when applying for a job. State Rehab will help you arrange your transportation to get you to school & back (I myself receive a bus pass every month as I am mobile). Rehab provided the eye exam & beautiful glasses I needed to start school, a computer-- which is absolutely necessary to do your work. I take most of my classes online or by cable t.v.. Whatever your situation, they go the last mile to assure you every opportunity to pursue an education & they really make things happen! My friend (in a wheel chair) is now graduated & making over $70 grand a year-I graduate this year-Phi Theta Kappa. You will have your Pell Grants & State Grants & anything & everything else is you need is covered by State. They are the greatest people you'll ever meet & pulling for you 100%, even if you haven't any support from any one else. You CAN do this--many disabled have & it has changed their world. Go for it, get started & Good Luck in your future!!!

Contacting this school may be your first step and you can get more information from them.\n\nGood Luck.

You can go to a local welfare office and they can give you information on Section 8 Housing.  Since I don't know the state or town to which you are referring, I can't get any more specific.  \n\nGood luck with your new family. :)

Depends on what state you live in but so many have assistance for the blind or going blind. Research it or have someone look up the phone numbers for you. They often help with items you need to help you adjust. (tapping canes, large number books or clocks, assistance dogs, and much much more. For free.) They pay for your doctor's appointments that have to do with your eyes. They offer classes on how to live in your own household going blind. It is a school I think that goes on for a month or so. They teach you to be very independent. They reteach you how to cook and clean and all that stuff. Come to your house and adjust anything from tables to cooking utensils to help you get around better. So you don't have to rely on others. They will even help you get a job. It is a bit of a process with all the paperwork and phone calls but very worth it because they pay for everything. So take advantage of it because you need it and they are more than happy to help you. I live in Texas and that is what the program here offers. Hope yours is just as good. Much luck hun.

m+m the best thing you can do is contact adult education at your local Board of Education.  They have programs that start with people who can not read, write or spell.  I know people who have done it and go on to be able to enter college or trade school.  Anything you do along that line will help you greatly.  If you know someone who has the time try to get them to help.  If you really do not want to share your problem with anyone, get the leapster type things that young children use to get started learning.  They can be found in toy departments.  Good luck and God Bless you for wanting to learn.

I don't know the answer to your question, but if you go to a university's web site they will usually have a page that talks about their programs.  Or you may want to do a search on yahoo or google or dogpile try MS housing development and management.  Good luck!

The best place to look would be Habitat for Humanity, usually it's programs are setup for low income households.  Or faith builders would be a good start too.

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.
