Aging and Vision Loss National Coalition
Service Provider Toolkit
This Service Provider Toolkit created by the Access to Quality Services Committee of the Aging and Vision Loss National Coalition (AVLNC) identifies the multiple impacts of vision loss on service delivery.
The Toolkit offers an overview of vision loss in the US, information to help you identify vision loss, learn more about common eye conditions, simulate what your clients may see with specific eye diseases (and the resulting type of vision loss), useful tips for working with adults with blindness and vision loss – including blindness etiquette – ways your organization can connect to information about vision loss, plus crucial national and local training, resources, and support for your clients.
