Date & Time: Feb 27, 2026 11:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Target Audience: Anyone with vision loss or serving adults and children with vision loss.
Description: Learn the skills that increase safety, reduce risk, and strengthen independent travel. This session teaches you how to communicate your needs clearly, give effective instructions to drivers, decline unwanted assistance confidently, and respond decisively when a situation raises concern. We’ll be drawing on evidence-based personal safety practices and real community travel scenarios to learn phrases, behaviors, and actions you can rely on across rideshare, paratransit, public transit and everyday community interactions.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from UNC Asheville and a master’s degree in special education from North Carolina Central University.
