May 2024 Hot Topics, Support Groups & Book Club

Adults and seniors who are visually impaired and blind are invited to attend our Group and Hot Topic activities which are designed to help maintain and increase independence and reduce the isolation many people experience because of vision impairment. These activities are provided at no-cost to past and present clients and their families; they are also available to other adults and seniors who are visually impaired and blind living in Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus Counties.
