This episode of Inform & Connect features Sylvia Stinson-Perez, director of the Vision Specialist graduate certificate program and the Independent Living Services at the Older Individuals who are Blind Technical Assistance Center (OIB-TAC) at the National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision at Mississippi State University.
The conversation will center around the issues the blindness and aging in our communities and across the country currently face.
“Less than five percent of the aging population that are losing their vision utilize rehabilitative services,” Sylvia says. “They simply do not know such services exist – something we’d like to remedy.”
“It is my hope that this conversation raises awareness to people and their families that are facing vision loss,” said Melody Goodspeed, AFB Major Gifts Specialist. “Sylvia’s passion for reaching those in need is powerful and a subject we must explore.”
