Why This Matters

Many older adults living with low vision still want to:

• Read books, newspapers or magazines
• Write letters, cards, journals
• Keep up with emails or simple online activity
• Stay engaged, connected and mentally active

Yet vision changes can make these activities frustrating. We believe staying engaged through reading and writing supports quality of life, social connection, and cognitive fitness.

What the Seminar Covers

A friendly, interactive session (≈45–60 minutes) tailored for your residents and staff:

• Overview of common low-vision challenges (contrast, focus, glare, small print)
• Live demonstrations of assistive technology for everyday reading & writing
• Simple, do-now tips (lighting, contrast, positioning, device settings)
• Resident Q&A for practical suggestions
• Short “try-it” segment so residents can experience the difference

Note: This seminar is purely informational—no sales pressure.
