Daily Living Toolbox (Session 4): Using Technology for Hobbies and Enjoyment

Are you looking for new ways to accomplish daily tasks, stay organized, and connect with loved ones, while living more happily and independently? Is your vision loss making it difficult to retain information, stay active, and engage with hobbies?

The Polus Center for Social and Economic Development is excited to announce Daily Living Toolbox, a five-part webinar series discussing useful tips on organization, communication, and technology. This program empowers you to create a more organized and enjoyable daily life using simple techniques and everyday tools.

Beginning March 6th, a new webinar is offered via Zoom every other Wednesday from 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. Participants are welcome to come to as many of these webinars as they would like. After each webinar, instructors are available for one-on-one follow up to help you apply what you learned or answer any questions. Student sharing of tips and techniques is encouraged!
