[Ohio-Talk] Tips for quarantine life with Covid?

[Cheree Heppe]

A lot of times, when people face changing from visual to non-visual modalities, they haven't got a sense of how to navigate in that realm.

Are you getting any help at all and could this group offer time for someone like yourself to call and get mentored on things? Sometimes that works better than just talking on an email where if a question comes up, it's not possible to answer or to demonstrate or talk someone through something. I like the concept of mentoring.

Do you have Apple's accessibility desk number? If not, someone could provide that. You could phone Apple, when you have iPhone problems. They can screen share with you and walk you through a lot of the specialized stuff so that you can learn how to do this.

Any tips on getting through the days? My vision is blurry with the virus, so it’s tough for me to enjoy things that I used to, such as doing adult coloring books, scrolling through Facebook, or any other social media, and the days are just getting long. Anyone else been fighting the battle? Hope you are all staying healthy and safe!
