Presented by Bureau of Education and Services for the Blind, and Hearing Loss Association of America at Elmwood Hall – Danbury Senior Center, on Tuesday, September 20, 2016 at 1:00 pm
Are you an older adult who has both sight and hearing loss? Are you the caregiver, service provider, or relative of senior who has this dual disability? As you may know, the dual-challenge of sight and hearing loss can have devastating effects on your self-confidence, independence, and one’s ability to communicate with others. Do you feel it is time to reclaim your ability to participate in the world around you? We want to offer you this opportunity. This program is free of charge and may change your life forever! Join us as you will learn from professionals about techniques and technologies that may help you maintain or restore your ability to communicate in meaningful ways with those around you.
All participants must sign up/register in advance so the presenters can accommodate your “hard of hearing” issues during the presentation. No walk-ins for this seminar.
