Your family physician, rushing to get to his next appointment, suggests you check out the Regional Center and the Braille Institute (Links to an external site.) for support, the refers you to an ophthalmologist who can assist with glasses. That’s often as much help as a parent gets to begin their journey. You stop by the desk to pick up the referral and the office manager gives you a handout on Arcanet (Links to an external site.), telling you it will help you find your local Regional Center. You arrive home, and huddle around the computer. Begin by exploring the Arcanet (Links to an external site.)website, figure out what it does, and find your local the Regional Center. Once you’ve done that, visit your local Regional Center website, and try to find a) what services it provides, and how you make an intake (first) appointment. Finally, visit the Braille Institute website. What services does it provide?Compare and contrast the three websites, and what you encountered with each. Compare and contrast in roughly three paragraphs the websites you visited, and what you experienced as you explored each. Were you able to find the resources you were looking for? How successful were you finding the resources you needed, and how “family friendly” did you find each site to be? In your response, identify the Regional Center office you visited. Remember: you are looking for your local one. If a parent starts intake with the wrong one, they have to begin again with the right one. See how hard it is to find the right location.
