Practice
As a result of suggestions made during her first Delmarva consultation, the group home provider contacted Division of Blind Services to come in and offer technical assistance for one individual. A representative of Blind Services came down and spent the day showing this provider how to adapt the environment to maximize this individual’s independence in all areas.

Who Benefits? How?
This individual is now cooking more independently, answering and dialing the phone independently, and has learned to utilize her environment without continuously depending on staff members.
