Event Link: See for Yourself: An Assistive Technology and Resource Fair for People Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired
SEE FOR YOURSELF: An Assistive Technology and Resource Fair for People who are Blind or Visually Impaired, has been held at the Suffolk Cooperative Library System (SCLS) for the past 20 years. This is where people can come to learn about assistive technology and other various daily living resources, for people living with vision loss. Our event includes vendors of low and high tech equipment, advocacy groups, organizations and service providers who are working with people who are visually impaired or blind. This year we will also have a few products for people who are hard of hearing and people living with memory loss.
SCLS Outreach Services invites you to join us on Friday, May 3, 2018. Come visit any time between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm for the SEE FOR YOURSELF event. It should take about 1 ½ hours to visit with all of the exhibitors. The “”FAIR”” is open to the public and ADMISSION IS FREE! Vendors will provide “hands-on” demonstrations of assistive technology, while representatives from several non-profit organizations, county agencies, and service providers will offer information that will enhance the lives of people living with vision loss. Also, look for representatives from your public library to learn about the resources that they have to offer.
The Suffolk Cooperative Library System is also the home of the Long Island Assistive Technology Center. This area of the library system is dedicated to assistive technology for individuals who cannot use traditional print materials. The “Center” offers free demonstrations of Adaptive hardware and software for people living with a visual or a learning disability. Demonstrations in the center are by appointment only.
