IN-SIGHT’s small group programs are open to any adult with a visual impairment. Some are also open to family members and friends. Each program is listed as either “Clients Only,” which means that, due to space, only the client can participate, or “Clients and Sighted Guests,” meaning the program is open to a family member or friend.
