Hi group members,
The American Foundation for the Blind's eLearning Center has announced the availability of its newest webinar offering titled, Low Vision Nonoptical Devices: Improving Visibility for People with Low Vision.
People with low vision are often very resourceful at finding ways to accomplish visually demanding tasks by using devices that do not magnify or enlarge the image. Tools that do not magnify, known as nonoptical devices, often allow people to accomplish tasks more efficiently and more comfortably. This webinar, Low Vision Nonoptical Devices: Improving Visibility for People with Low Vision, targeted at service providers and individuals with low vision, explores the wide variety of nonoptical devices currently available including lighting options, filters/sunglasses, reading/bookstands and writing devices. Participants will receive strategies for analyzing various product features that can assist with matching the right tool to the individual and the task to be completed. Tips for using these devices will round out this presentation by Ike Presley, AFB National Project Manager.
The webinar has been approved by ACVREP for 1 hour of continuing education credit. It is approximately an hour in length and you may return as often as you like for one year from the date of purchase.
