One-day Essential

The new One-day Essential Low Vision Program will provide immediate help to adults living with vision loss through expert instruction in techniques that will increase home safety, improve functioning in daily tasks, and provide understanding of assistive technologies and devices that greatly enhance quality of life and self-reliance. A friend, family member, or caregiver is encouraged to accompany the participant at no extra cost.

This is intended to be either an alternative or a compliment to our existing Ten-Day Program. The One-day Essential Program will benefit those who have experienced sudden vision loss and have an immediate need for help; or those who do not have the ability to attend a full ten week session.

All of these topics will be covered in one day:

• Methods of Accessing Reading Materials
• Optical and Non-optical Low Vision Aids
• Screen Magnification and Screen Reading Software
• Products and Strategies for Activities of Daily Living
• Home Safety Tips
• Proper Human Guide Technique for Traveling Safely
• Support, Resources, and Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired
