Ever wonder about how people who are blind/low vision can tell different items apart, even though they have the same shape?
• Technology! There are different apps that can read labels for you or get you real-time assistance from a sighted person.
• Braille Labels! If you can read Braille, using a Braille label is a simple solution for telling apart which can contains soup and which contains vegetables.
• Rubber bands. Tying some rubber bands around a shampoo bottle can help tell it apart from conditioner.
We teach several different techniques for organization, medication management, and more at our Essential Low Vision Program. The next session takes place on March 4th. Join us! Registration is required for this event. Learn more by emailing us at lgroszew@vlanj.org or by calling 973-627-0055 ext 1312.
