Low vision topic of OSCIL’S Lunch & Learn workshop Oct. 24

Posted

The Ocean State Center for Independent Living will be hosting a free Lunch & Learn Workshop entitled “Living well with low

vision” on Wednesday, October 24 from 12 to 2 p.m. at its location at 1944 Warwick Avenue in Warwick.

Presenter Stephen DelTatto of Silver Lining Technologies will discuss and demonstrate low vision and blindness products that can enhance your visual needs for daily living. See the latest in high definition magnifiers for home and travel and how the new desktop CCTV magnifiers of make reading newspapers, magazines, greeting cards and more much easier. See the “Candy” handheld model that allows you the same freedom in the community as a larger CCTV, allowing you to read menus, pay bills, read price tags, and go shopping independently.

Also discussed will be magnifying and talking computer software programs, iPads and the latest designs in hands-free information with Amazon Echo/Alexa. These items can significantly reduce eyestrain and fatigue.

As part of OSCIL’s mission to provide outreach, education and opportunities for peer support, OSCIL offers these FREE Lunch and Learn workshops highlighting various solutions that can increase access in your home and community.

Advance registration is required; call 738-1013 if you plan to attend. Seating is limited. Lunch (pizza) will be served.
