Braille Institute sponsors six-week program for people with

fading vision

A six-week, free program to help those with fading vision retain

their independence will be in Burbank, sponsored by the Braille

Institute.

The classes will teach those with diminished sight new ways to do

daily activities such as cooking and managing the home, as well as

how to use visual aids to make the most of their remaining vision,

institute officials said. Participants will also learn how to obtain

talking books and other free services through the institute’s

library.

Classes will be from 10 a.m. to noon on six consecutive Mondays,

beginning next week, at the Burbank Gardens Hotel, 2721 Willow St. To

sign up or for more information, call Field Services Coordinator

Sharon Ziegler at (323) 663-1111, ext. 1252.
