Fall Program Registration
Video Magnifier Rentals
Video magnifiers are electronic devices that use a camera and a monitor to magnify text and images, helping individuals with low vision read and view objects more easily. IN-SIGHT rents gently used video magnifiers for $20 per month. After registering, we will contact you to schedule a demonstration of the available rental machines.
Building Adaptive Kitchen Skills
This fall, we are offering a workshop focused on making kitchens more accessible and on overcoming common challenges people with vision issues can face when working in them. We will discuss some adaptive techniques and also demonstrate tools and equipment that might be helpful. These workshops are open to anyone living with a visual impairment and a guest.
