Peer Assisted Learning & Support (PALS) Group
The PALS Groups provide a forum for adult clients to share ideas and feelings in a group setting. At meetings, clients learn about a variety of visually impaired-related topics, new aids and appliances, and will receive support and encouragement from others going through similar challenges.
Understanding what others have experienced will help you better understand your own vision loss and encourage you to accept the loss and learn skills necessary for everyday independence.
