Are you interested in tabletop role-play gaming, such as Dungeons and Dragons, but you’re hesitant to give it a try because it may lack accessibility? Knights of the Braille is a community of individuals who are blind, visually impaired, and sighted and welcome everyone. We meet on Discord (easy way to talk via voice, video, and text). Check it out at https://knightsofthebraille.com/ The program is designed specifically to be accessible with screen readers and screen magnifiers. #seeingindependence

LBB will be seeing our friends at Westminster Oaks on Wednesday at 2:30 pm. This is a monthly support group open to both residents and visitors who are visually impaired. The group also welcomes individuals with loved ones or friends experiencing vision loss to join the group. Please let us if you know of an assisted living facility with residents who are visually impaired and would benefit from individual services and/or a support group. LBB services are provided at no cost to eligible clients. LBB also offers an in-service program to educate community businesses and organizations to learn important and invaluable communication tools for interacting with people who are visually impaired. For more information, message LBB or email us at info@seeingindependence.org #seeingindependence

Last night LBB's Charles Acheson (playing banjo) and our good friend Mira Gaitanis (playing violin) treated the Youth Group to folk music and talked about their instruments they were playing. #seeingindependence
