You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

Senior Retreat


2021 Virtual Senior Retreat


September 19th through 25th, 2021
Anywhere and Everywhere

This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing and
self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss, and/or
lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us, that learning
about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie
of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to
advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training
in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for
solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better
able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life
They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will
experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the
life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our
recent graduates!
