The loss of vision need not mean the loss of independence and the satisfaction that comes from maintaining a home, moving about safely in the community, and enjoying a hobby or creative outlet. Certified and experienced instructors teach adaptive techniques for safely accomplishing all of these important life activities as well as adaptive computer usage for home or work. Ceramics and art classes, as well as other recreational activities, are offered on a regular basis in our Cincinnati office.

Our Cincinnati Instructional Services Department consists of four specialized instructors. Our orientation and mobility instructor and Vision Rehabilitation Therapist are certified by ACVREP, and our recreation specialist holds master’s degrees in fine arts. Our computer skills instructor has over thirteen years of experience in the Windows and Macintosh environments, both as an instructor and user of adaptive technology, with special skills in graphic design, multimedia presentation, and web page design.
