Seminars at Hadley Presents:
The Lowdown on What's Up with Braille Literacy at Hadley
Date: Tuesday, August 9, 2016
Time: 10:00 AM CDT; 15:00 GMT

Want to know what’s going on at Hadley with Braille Literacy? Have you heard that there is no point to learning braille because of changes in technology? For Hadley, nothing could be further from the truth. If print is difficult for you, or you can no longer see print at all, join us to hear other ways to learn to read and write — and that includes using braille!

Whether you learn the entire code or the alphabet, braille can be a life changing experience. You no longer have to wade through all kinds of messages or other recordings to find a simple phone number or grocery list. You won’t have to rely on your spouse or other family members to get information for you. Learn how these six little dots can give you independence, self-confidence and change your life.

Join instructors Sharon Howerton and Danette Johnson as they discuss each of the braille literacy courses in Hadley's Adult Continuing Education (ACE) program. Hadley’s Braille Student of the Year, Sue Brasel, will join us to talk about her experiences and give tips on how to make the most of each course.

Kim Walker, Hadley instructor, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included. This seminar is an audio-only seminar, and space is limited. Please register only if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Virtual Support Groups: An Accessible Community for Older Adults
Date: Thursday, August 18, 2016
Time: 1:00 PM CDT; 18:00 GMT

Senior centers offer a range of wonderful opportunities for older adults.  For seniors with low vision or other impairments, these valuable resources may be difficult to access. Lack of transportation or health concerns can make travel to a senior center challenging. Now, new programs around the country are making senior centers available to all older adults by establishing virtual communities where members can participate in their own homes using a telephone or other simple technology.

Please join Low Vision Focus @ Hadley as Amber Carroll, Director of Senior Center Without Walls, discusses the diverse and exciting programming available from virtual senior centers.

Ed Haines, Hadley Instructor and member of the Seminars at Hadley team, will moderate this 60-minute presentation. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar. This seminar is an audio-only seminar, and space is limited. Please register only if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out. Register now for Virtual Support Groups. <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10207074&msgid=808121&act=GE9S&c=225701&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fhadley.edu%2FSeminarDetails.asp%3Fsid%3D332>
