Sessions will include hands-on practice with assistive technology for literacy, communication, navigation, and more. You will have the opportunity to simulate the Deaf-Blind experience, consider how living in poverty can affect individuals with disabilities, and learn how individuals who are blind and visually impaired can enrich their lives by getting involved in sports and other recreational activities. We will even learn about cutting-edge research involving inherited retinal degeneration. The conference will be held August 6-7.
