No, this course is for anyone who wants to take it. I am happy to offer the program to anyone who is interested. In fact, not all of the students and graduates from this program have been blind or visually impaired. The program is also open to people from any country who have a good command of the English language, and good grammar skills. I am pleased to work with any rehab agency or other sponsoring agency or service which might be interested in assisting a student financially to complete the program.
