Low Vision Focus @ HadleyThe Low Vision Focus @ Hadley (LVF), is designed to help individuals living with low vision (primarily seniors) maintain their independence by sharing practical ways to address daily living skills made difficult by vision loss. The LVF is unique in that it offers those living with low vision the opportunity to learn and take advantage of our resources from the comfort of their own homes, at a time that is convenient for them, with the benefit of one-on-one counseling and support, at no cost to them. It features a series of ten 30-minute audio lessons that provide tips and techniques for doing everyday tasks with low vision, such as working in the kitchen, personal grooming and moving around safely. In the future, Hadley will provide free, educational videos and webinars as part of the Low Vision Focus, and the program will soon reference popular Hadley courses that may be of interest to individuals with low vision.
