5th October 12:30pm Focus on Braille: not all people with sight loss
read braille; but for those who do, it's a vital lifeline. In this
session, we will explain how braille compares with print, where to
obtain braille resources and how you can produce your own. We will also
discuss things to consider when working with braille resources. The
session will last about 40 minutes followed by a time for questions.

9th November 12:30pm Focus On The Environment: as the days get shorter,
it's more important than ever to think about how people with sight loss
move around your church building. We will cover how to determine the
type and quality of lighting that works best for someone with sight
loss, how to indicate steps (both inside and outside), making doors
safer and the placement of chairs. We will also discuss how long canes
and guide dogs help people with sight loss and the differences between
the two approaches. The session will last about 40 minutes followed by a
time for questions. Please register here.
