Lessons for Living

Have you shared our Lessons for Living with your clients? Lessons for Living provides information on how individuals who are blind can safely and efficiently complete everyday tasks. Nineteen lessons are available for download in audio and print formats. These lessons are also available on BARD.

Looking for Success Stories

Do you have videos or articles that have been published online about the success of your older vision impaired clients? Maybe you have some videos on your website, or maybe some clients were interviewed related to participation in one of your programs for a newsletter or newspaper article. Please send us links to these success stories at info@oib-tac.org, so we can share them.
