An Eye on Vision Issues!

Volume 3, Issue 4 – week of March 25 to 31

Hello, Everyone.
The end of winter and beginning of spring conjures thoughts of vacation. While attending a training center for the visually impaired the program included a white water rafting trip to Ocoee, Tennessee designed for the visually impaired. Now’s the time to plan a summer trip. Several summer camps for the visually impaired available.
