On-site Counseling

Under the banner of International Services for the Physically Challenged, Robert Langford often works with private or government agencies and organizations, domestic and foreign, to evaluate programs and services. In this capacity, he often acts as a catalyst to coordinate the efforts of various agencies to accomplish an objective.

These counseling activities can take many forms and result in wonderfully productive outcomes.

Due to postal expense and the obstructive practices of some authorities in foreign countries, we are unable to ship computers directly to patrons outside the United States. However, several Computer Centers for the Blind have been organized through the combined efforts of public and private organizations and caring individuals who personally take computers abroad as carry-on baggage for personal delivery to recipients. As a result, Computer Centers for the Blind have been established in Vine del Mar, Chile, Trujillo, Peru, and Lima, Peru. Soon, we expect to have additional Centers in Cuba and Nicaragua.

The School for the Blind in Vina del Mar, Chile, is an example. The School is now equipped with computers for visually impaired persons. It required the coordinated efforts of the local Rotary Club, the International Friendship Force, a blind attorney, a sighted attorney, volunteer technicians, and the Texas Center for the Physically Impaired to provide the much-needed equipment. Read the whole story.

Robert Langford is also available for consultation in the areas of program planning and professional contractual services.

Dr. Langford visited Nigeria at the request of Hope for the Blind, a nationwide, privately supported organization that is primarily concerned with Braille and recorded books. He went to this Western Africa country to survey organizations and agencies concerned with the health, welfare, education, and spiritual needs of blind persons, as well as their rehabilitation and employment. After his fact-finding tour, he was able to make recommendations to improve services for Nigeria's visually impaired citizens.  Read the whole story.
