Top Ten Tips: Working with Individuals Who Have Vision Loss in Times of Covid

7/19/2021

0 Comments

 
Our Caregiver Support Group is going strong – and as members are helped, resources to help others are now being developed!  Two of our recent meetings focused on new routines and the pandemic and from the discussion we offer here a “Top Ten” list for working with individuals with vision loss in times of COVID.  As routines continue to evolve due to the COVID pandemic, these ten tips will help as you prepare for and when working with individuals who have vision loss.  My thanks to Georgia Wattendorf-Guiney, M.Ed., COMS for all of her efforts, creativity and time in putting the powerpoint together! Help is always available! Together we are finding our way. Please feel free to share!
