Serving Older Adults Who Are Blind in Alaska: Realities, Relationships, and Regional Solutions

Description

What does service provision for older adults who are blind in Alaska look like—and what can the rest of us learn from it? Join a panel of Alaskan service providers as they explore the realities of working across vast distances, navigating transportation barriers, and building trust in tight-knit communities. Panelists will discuss strategies for reducing stigma, strengthening partnerships between state and tribal VR programs, and engaging community resources to ensure older adults receive meaningful, culturally responsive support.
