Abstract
This June, we will have guest speaker Gina di Grazia join us to discuss how to individualize orientation and mobility with the use of tools and practice. Gina is an occupational therapist who specializes in mobility and low vision, and this month one of her clients will be joining us to provide a full perspective of what it means to participate in individualized care. Gina will also be providing tools such as canes to practice on-site. Her goal is to build feelings of safety, confidence, and independence in the blindness/low vision community, we really hope you join us to discover what that means for you.
