Join us for Seminars@Hadley on Wednesday, October 8, at 2:00PM CDT, 19:00 GMT, as we present the first of a series of panel discussions on all things blindness. New technologies become available constantly and combining them with many simple but effective low tech aids can help make life easier. Do you have favorites? We invite your input! Vision professionals are encouraged to join us with your classes or consumers.
Featured panelists for this discussion include Hadley faculty and staff, including Allen Maynard, Hadley's access technology specialist, and instructors Linn Sorge, Sharon Howerton, Linda Perry and Patti Jacobson. This 60-minute seminar will be moderated by Dawn Turco, Hadley's senior vice president of educational operations. Time for questions will be provided.
