Vision Impairment CHW Networking Gathering

Have you found yourself in the dark trying to provide resources to a legally blind person?

Register for CHWARI’s next networking gathering to get an overview of how vision impairments affect daily social and professional life, and how CHWs can best help!

Presenter Arlene Fernandez (she/hers), CCHW, Bilingual Consumer Resource Specialist at RIPIN, has been legally blind since birth. She will share her personal experience with having an IEP, reading through braille, and later, navigating professional life with a vision impairment. She is excited to share how limited vision should not limit your life!

Expect to learn about:

• Effective methods of orientation and mobility
• Accessibility apps for smartphone and computer
• Effective ways to provide assistance to people with visual impairments

Her presentation will be followed by a Q & A and then 30 minutes of CHW Networking! Bring links to resources you’d like to share!
