We are pleased to announce the next session in the Virtual AFB Leadership Conference:
"Flatten Inaccessibility: Using Data to Ensure COVID-19 Responses Are Inclusive of Adults with Vision Loss"
June 4, 2020 1:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Join the Virtual AFB Leadership Conference for a panel discussion of the preliminary findings of the Flatten Inaccessibility study, which investigated the impact of COVID-19 on US adults who are blind or have low vision. The survey was completed by 1,921 individuals and covered technology, healthcare, transportation, employment, education, social experiences, voting, and access to meals, food and supplies.
The researchers will highlight some of the study findings and discuss how we can use data from this study to chart a road map to ensure those with vision loss are fully included in the response to COVID-19 and future challenging situations.
Panelists:
L. Penny Rosenblum, Ph.D.
American Foundation for the Blind
Director of Research
Paola Chanes-Mora, Ph.D.
American Foundation for the Blind
Policy Research Specialist

Chief Executive Officer

Live captions will be available throughout this panel discussion. The webinar will begin with a pre-recorded presentation, but will include a live opportunity for attendees to ask questions. An audio described, transcribed, and captioned version will be available shortly after the event for anyone who wasn't able to attend.
