Are you blind or losing your eyesight with a corrected visual acuity of 20/70 or less and is this vision loss causing problems with everyday living? If so, this skill-building workshop may assist you in finding available resources in your community and introduce technologies that promote independence.

•  identifying and organizing medicines; talking scales, and other talking products
•  identifying and handling money to include bill paying
