Who are we?

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio (NFB-O) is the oldest and largest statewide consumer 

 

organization in the blindness field. We are its division for those over fifty. Many of us have been dealing 

 

with vision loss for decades, but many more are still adjusting to vision loss and have discovered that the 

 

attitudes and outlook of the NFB are immensely helpful in learning to cope with the world using our

 

remaining senses.

 

We recognize that inevitably many blind seniors are dealing with additional disabilities: hearing loss, 

 

impaired memory, balance problems or orthopedic impairment, as well as various diseases.

 

We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we can advise you on how to help blind people think about 

 

blindness constructively and show you techniques to assist with orientation, ways to mark household 

 

equipment and identify items tactilely. We will show you how to guide a blind person and help blind 

 

people enter a car or van. We can provide advice for assisting blind people who use wheelchairs, and we 

 

can answer specific questions.

 

We hope you will join us on May 16. Useful documents and resources will be available to registrants.
