**Online Job Fairs:
An excellent method for locating a job for the visually impaired is attending online job fairs. A program called Ability links provides periodical job fairs. Visit abilitylinks.org sign-up, upload a resume and register for the next job fair. I have attended two online job fairs for the experience. A variety of opportunities is available. Check out the site.

Test your vision knowledge! Visit the forum and take the vision quiz part two. Here is question number ten of the quiz – Do you know the correct answer?

This Week’s Article:
What time is it? A question not so easy to answer for a visually impaired person. The use of talking products provides a simple solution. I review one of my favorite talking products in this week’s article. Use the link provided near the bottom of the newsletter to go directly to the article.


Coming Next Week:
Loss of vision makes participation in social events such as board games or card games difficult. A program designed especially for visually impaired people allowing them to play games on an equal playing field with the sighted is the focus of next week’s article.

Until next week – Have a great week!
Dean.

What time is it? The visually impaired accomplish finding the time of day differently, most of the time with the aid of a talking product. Talking products assist the visually impaired to complete daily tasks. The Tel-Time Pyramid Talking Alarm Clock is a great example! It’s one of my favorites.
