On Friday, February 24, 2017,
staff from the Western Blind Rehabilitation Center (WBRC) took part in a
community resource fair presented by the Visual Impairment Services Team at the
San Francisco VA Healthcare System. Staff, including Blind Rehabilitation
Specialist Daniel Penrod and VIST Coordinator Craig Eckhardt spoke with fair participants
about the various programs offered at the WBRC as well as other vision
rehabilitation services available in the VA. In addition, participants were
shown various adapted devices that are used at the center, including
magnifiers, long white canes, and large print medicine organizers, and others,
to assist visually impaired Veterans with safely and independently perform
various tasks of daily living. Many participants of the fair were former
students of the WBRC, who continuously praised the work of the WBRC and the
service its staff provides to blind and visually impaired Veterans.
