Golden Carers is just wonderful - an amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden Carers on a daily basis, and paired with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.

Good afternoon everyone!
I am a new Executive Director of an association that has a day programming for blind and visually impaired men and women ages 51 - 96.
I have been hired to redesign this amazing agency that has been providing free services to the blind and visually impaired for the past 112 years. As I am new to working with the blind and visually impaired so I was wondering if anyone had any activities that we could use for the time they are here. They are a wonderful group of interesting, independent and fun loving people who live on their own.
Thank you! I really appreciate your support.
Best,
Sarah
Hi Sarah
I think these articles and comments will help you
https://www.goldencarers.com/12-ways-to-support-visually-impaired-seniors/6211/
https://www.goldencarers.com/20-activities-for-the-visually-impaired/4205/
Also I think items need to be labeled in large dark print
Try to use the other senses
It also depends on what is there now
Have You contacted the commission for the blind because they have some great ideas
I suspect most of the people who come qualify to get services from them
Also there is probably a library that is for the visually impaired and also has braille items
Hi there
I had the privilege of working with some visually impaired and hearing impaired at an adult day program. The clients are your greatest resource.I would test things and trial and ask for feedback and tweak the program for the next time. Listening to sounds of the season ,music ,animal sounds worked well ,scent related activities , touching tactile pluse for hearing impaired visual with text . If we were running a quiz game I would put buzzers in front of them to buzz in with the answer so much fun! Screaming with laughter. Great fun and good luck! Bev Latour
