Blind and Visually Impaired Service Meetings
Please help support the newest program for the blind and visually impaired that will be administered by the Ho’opono Services for the Blind Division. Right now this program is only being offered on Oahu. The newly enacted legislation aims to provide support services to the blind and visually impaired individuals on the Neighbor Islands that would help them to integrate well within the communities they reside and provide opportunity where they have access to training to acquire new skills and also assist with barriers that are preventing them from achieving independence and self-sufficiency. There are three virtual meetings scheduled that interested parties can attend via zoom. Agenda items include an overview of the pilot pro-ject, stakeholder questions i.e. what services will be offer-ed, where and how often. You will also have the opportunity to offer your input for any services that you need.
