9:30 am: The Business of Blindness Phone Chat: Make Coffee and Call Mike Cole


Jun 15

What does it really mean to be blind or low vision? Mike Cole, a veteran of all things blindness, will lead this call-in forum to discuss the many day-to-day ins-and-outs of blindness—from daily living in your home environment to navigating the vast expanse of bureaucracies. There's always a lively crowd sharing their own experiences, so make a cup of coffee (or tea), sit in your favorite chair and call in to chat the business of blindness.

For more information including dial in details, contact Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.

10:00 am: Design the Best Accessible Signs (online)


Jun 16

Attention architects, sign makers and graphic designers: Do you struggle with accessible signage? Are you familiar with the codes, but unclear on the reasons behind them? Do you think accessible signage has to be ugly to be compliant?
LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired is hosting a training session that will explore the 2010 ADA Standards and 2019 California Building Code, the reasons behind them, and how to get the best possible accessible signage that looks elegant and satisfies the needs of multiple categories of users.
