Because of your vision, do you have difficulty:
_____ Reading, even with glasses?
_____ Moving around your home?
_____ Cooking or using the stove?
_____ Identifying money?
_____ Writing checks?
_____ Dialing the phone?
_____ Are you feeling sad, anxious or depressed about your vision loss?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, or if you just feel your vision problems are interfering with your life, the Lackawanna Blind Association can help.
To get started, you will work one-on-one with an LBA Case Worker who will assess your needs and identify which of our programs are best suited to meet them.
Our services equip blind or visually impaired adults with the skills and confidence they need to meet the challenges of everyday life.
We hope you’ll take advantage of our services to remain self-sufficient and safe at home, productive at work and active in your community.
These services are available at no cost to you.
Call us today at (570) 342-7613 or email us at [email protected]
