Our collective experience has taught us that learning<br>about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie<br>of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to<br>advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training<br>in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for<br>solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better<br>able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life<br>They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will<br>experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the<br>life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our<br>recent graduates!<br><br><br>Schedule<br><br><br>Note:All times listed are in Eastern Time.<br><br><br>Sunday, February 11<br><br>1:00 PM to 2:30 PM<br><br>Meet & Greet<br><br><br>Monday, February 12 through Friday, February 16<br><br>12:00 PM to 5:00 PM<br><br>Classes<br><br><br>Saturday, February 17<br><br>1:00 PM to 2:30 PM<br><br>Wrap Up<br><br><br>ELIGIBILITY<br><br><br>* Legally Blind<br>* Strong desire to learn nonvisual techniques<br>* 50 or over<br><br><br>Featured Topics<br><br><br>* Cane Travel<br>* Daily Living Skills<br>* Beginning Braille<br>* Organizational Skills & Tactile Learning<br>* Useful Aids & Devices<br>* Cooking Techniques & Food Preparation<br>* Technology Topics<br>* NFB-NEWSLINER<br><br><br>COST<br><br><br>The cost is $50 per attendee.
