We partner with New Vision for Independence and all of the resources that are available to us as visually impaired persons. They offer training in all areas for independent living as well as the opportunity to exercise with them over the phone or play games. Lisa will be coming to our meetings every month and is glad to assist us with any questions we may have. You can also reach her by calling the New Vision office at 352-607-7607.
FYI, New Vision has many used donated pieces of visual equipment that they are looking to re home. If you are looking for a particular item, please reach out to them.

No more emails.
The newsletters are available as text on the Newsletter page and the audio file can be found above and on the newsletter page. One newsletter for both locations.
