IN-SIGHT’s winter programs are open to any adult with a visual impairment. Some are also open to family members and friends. Each program is listed as either “Clients Only,” which means that, due to space, only the client can participate, or “Clients and Sighted Guests,” meaning the program is open to a family member or friend.
During the winter season, we offer several programs virtually via Zoom, which allows you to participate from home using the camera on your phone or computer, or by calling in. If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, we can help you get acclimated.
