AIRSLA
Welcome to the Breaking Blindness Barriers group. Our discussions, presentations, and activities are aimed at finding and sharing techniques and strategies for getting rid of the pesky barriers to full, productive, and independent living, that we as people who are Blind or Low-Vision face far too often. While most of our discussions tend to be tech oriented, we are also open to exploring and discussing low or non tech strategies and solutions as well. We will have at least 4 quarterly meetings per year as well as bonus meetings in between when ever I come across topics or presenters that may be of interest to our group. Participating in our meetings and presentations is free of charge however, donations are very much welcome, but are not required. They will be put to use offsetting the operating costs. Those who can and feel motivated to do so can donate via PayPal to [email protected]
