Seminars at Hadley Presents: Braille Exchange: Braille -- Put it to Work For You!

Date: Thursday, February 11, 2016

Time: 10:00 AM CST, 16:00 GMT

While reading books using braille seems the most obvious and best way to make use of braille, there are lots of additional easy ways you can put braille to work for you. Markers for cooking and measuring; keeping your calendar and appointments at work every day; and lots of leisure ideas make the possibilities for using braille endless. And if you develop skills to read braille using different fingers, the possibilities to put braille to work are infinite!

Join Seminars at Hadley as Sharon Howerton and Vileen Shah share all sorts of potential with those 6 dots to make your life easier, more comfortable and organized. Instructor Kim Walker will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.

This seminar is an audio-only seminar. Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Seminars at Hadley Presents: Balancing Act: Fall Prevention for Older Adults with Vision Impairments

Date: Thursday, February 18, 2016

Time: 2:00 PM CST, 14:00 GMT

Fall prevention is a critical concern for older adults, their families and caregivers. When vision loss occurs, falling risks often increase unless individuals adopt specific strategies to maintain safety and independence.

Join Low Vision Focus @ Hadley as Anne Cowles, MPH, describes “Balancing Act,” an initiative devised to be a tool for fall prevention. Ms. Cowles is the fitness director with the New England College of Osteopathic Medicine’s U-ExCEL (Exercise  & Conditioning for Easier Living) program, and has worked to develop comprehensive fall prevention training that is not only directed at the general population, but is designed to be accessible to those with low vision.

Ed Haines, Instructor and member of the Seminars at Hadley team, will moderate this 60 minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.
