Adjusting to Blindness

An Introductory Seminar

 

February 6, 2020

 

10:15 AM to 4:00 PM

 

Cleveland Public Library3096 Scranton Road, Cleveland Ohio 44113

 

Introduction

 

This is an introductory Seminar for newly blind individuals that will
highlight best practices by Peer Mentors  from the National Federation of
the Blind of Cleveland. The philosophy of the NFB will be presented,  along
with the "value of alternative techniques of blindness, and the solid belief
that it is okay to be blind."

 

During the seminar, four small sessions will be offered by Peer Mentors for
newly blind individuals and their supportive companions to learn about
alternative ways to continue everyday living. These small settings will
offer guidance, advice, assistance and demonstrations from a real-world
point of view. Hence, sharing knowledge and experiences in order to help the
participants succeed  is our main objective. Having a wonderful trusted ally
to go to whenever blind people are feeling unsure or in need is why the NFB
is here. We want to meet the needs of each participant in moving forward at
their own pace and under their own control.
