Providing Even More Tips and Resources for Coping with Vision Loss
(Salem, OR September 30, 2005.) With a 44-year history of providing the news, information and resources that empower people experiencing vision loss to adjust to a different life situation and achieve their goals at school, at work, at home and in the community, DIALOGUE magazine has become a bimonthly publication in 2005. Changing from a quarterly to a bimonthly enables publisher, Carol M. McCarl and editor, Karen Lynn Thomas, to increase the number of practical articles related to living with low vision, assistive technology, and careers as well as provide timelier updates on the latest aids and devices. Highlights from recent issues include articles on finding support groups, driving with low vision, adapting the home environment, purchasing the best tech tools, and stories of people who are blind who are successfully employed in education, government and business, including a blind legislator serving his fifth term in the state legislature. Upcoming issues will feature articles about services for veterans blinded by war, service-related accidents or disease, traveling with guide dogs, and a holiday gift guide full of got-to-have-it gift ideas for people who are blind or visually impaired. Fred Sanderson, a longtime DIALOGUE subscriber says: "What is unique and noteworthy about DIALOGUE magazine is that it is the only publication targeted at blind readers that provides resources that readers can use to enrich their lives. It's packed with valuable information and practical hints for making tasks easier.
DIALOGUE magazine is an outstanding publication that provides information not easily obtained anywhere else." DIALOGUE magazine, now published six times a year, is available in large print, braille, cassette, diskette, and e-mail formats. For more information or to subscribe, call 800-860-4224 or visit www.blindskills.com.
