🤓Did you know that February is AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) and low vision awareness month? 🤓
🕶️AMD is the leading cause of permanent impairment of reading and fine-detail vision among people aged 60 and older. 👓
A low vision diagnosis can come at any age, in fact, nearly 500,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with low vision annually. Though low vision is more common as you age, it can affect children and young adults, as well.
BAAB is here as a free resource to those in need of community, guidance, and independence. Every single Thursday we host a social event at our office in Satellite Beach. We provide refreshments (coffee, water, tea, donuts, etc.) and a safe place to spend time with people that are going through similar struggles as you. Everyone is welcome, caregivers/friends/family of people with vision loss are encouraged to attend!
📚We also provide a program called, Program for Independent Living, multiple times throughout the year📅. In these classes we help our students (of all ages) gain confidence and independence through teaching various valuable daily skills. ⌨️📲
