Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Low Vision Focus @ Hadley Presents: Knitting for Fun and Fulfillment

Seminar Date: Friday, February 17, 2017

Seminar Time: 12:00 PM CST; 18:00 GMT

Knitting is fun, relaxing and rewarding. It’s a craft you can take anywhere and enjoy while chatting with friends, listening to an audiobook, or just daydreaming! Knitters know the special thrill that comes with holding something they’ve made with their own two hands.

Join Low Vision Focus @ Hadley as Caitlyn Snyder, Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist, and Mary Zemlick, Occupational Therapist and Orientation and Mobility Specialist, discuss how to enjoy knitting with low vision. They’ll be discussing equipment and terminology; techniques for rake knitting; knitting in the round; and using straight needles. They’ll also share their expertise on where to find accessible knitting patterns and how to find local knitting groups. If you’ve ever wanted to begin or resume this wonderful hobby, this is the webinar for you!

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

Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Braille and Technology: A Winning Combination for Life

Seminar Date: Thursday, March 2, 2017

Seminar Time: 10:00 AM CST; 16:00 GMT

Have you heard that braille is becoming obsolete due to accessible technology? We are here to tell you that is just not true! Research shows that adults with visual impairments who are braille readers are both more employable and successful.

Maybe your vision isn’t as good as it used to be. Maybe you now have very little usable vision or, as some may say, “just enough vision to get you in trouble.” If so, braille will be your buddy in every aspect of life, and technology will add an additional tool to help you live a fuller life.

Join Seminars at Hadley as our panelists discuss how technology and braille work together for a winning combination for life! Special guests Kathy Claus, professional storyteller and author; Kristen Witucki, the curriculum and content editor for Learning Ally’s College Success Program; and Susan Kennedy, a legal assistant and travel blogger, will share how they balance braille and technology in their everyday lives.

Kim Walker, Hadley Instructor, will moderate this 60-minute discussion. A question and answer session will be included as part of this audio seminar.
