Vision Dynamics booth at ConnOTA on Saturday March 12^th was one of the busiest at the convention! Jacqueline and Ruth shared information with the OTs and demonstrated how Vision Dynamics products could assist them with their patients. Many of the OTs were impressed with the variety of items and technology now available to the visually impaired to help them live more independent lives. All who stopped at the Vision Dynamics booth were excited to learn what was available and collected information to help their patients.

On November 3rd through November 5th some of our Vision Dynamics team was at the NEAER Convention in Rockport Maine. Charlie was a speaker and touched on the idea that seeing with our eyes is a common misconception, we do not see with our eyes, we see with our brains. Through his personal story, and an exercise with the guests, he focused on the positive and the philosophies that you can learn to see.

Vision Dynamics had a booth this year at The Rhode Island Parent Information Network Expo (RIPIN). RIPIN provides information, support and training to help all Rhode Island residents become their own best advocate at school, in healthcare and in all areas of life. The Vision Dynamics team had their booth set and ready with assistive technology to help the visually impaired. Many people came to visit our booth and ask questions regarding our products. Our staff was eager to demonstrate new items, help inspire individuals and share knowledge on living with low vision. Charlie was also the keynote speaker and gave a compelling motivational talk about overcoming a disability, living independently and succeeding in life. He touched the audience with his honestly about his own experiences and made them laugh with his wit and humor.

Back in April the Vision Dynamics Team was invited to provide staff and residents at Southington Care with information about our products and services that would allow them to enhance their quality of life. Jacqueline and Tracy ran a booth that gave people a chance to have hands on interaction with many items and provided information regarding Vision Dynamics.
Charlie shared his experiences about living with low vision, gave inspiration and hope regarding living independently through assistive technology. After his talk he also answered many questions from the audience. He made an impact on several of the clients and was glad to have been able to share thoughts and words of encouragement to individuals with low vision.
