[AERNet] Persons Aging with Hearing and Vision Loss Conference

[B.J. LeJeune]

Persons Aging with Hearing and Vision Loss
2nd Annual Conference

Psycho-Social Aspects of Adjustment, Communication, and Community Integration: Issues and Solutions

The number of older persons experiencing dual sensory loss is increasing, and many programs and services are not equipped to adequately address the combined disability in the older population.  This second annual conference will give administrators, service providers from aging, blindness and deafness fields, and consumers an opportunity to come together and address the issues, and learn of some innovative and exciting solutions.
