Established in 1920 by William Hadley, who experienced vision loss later in his life, Hadley provides practical help, connection, and support free of charge to people who are blind or have low vision as well as family members and professionals in the blind and visually impaired (BVI) community. One of Hadley’s current offerings, their Peer to Peer program provides ongoing resources, with participants having the opportunity to “gain new perspectives, problem-solve together, support, and learn from each other.” Find out more by visiting the Hadley webpage describing Peer to Peer.
Podcasts, Workshops, and Discussion Groups
Hadley Presents, a podcast series, features conversations with “experts on a wide range of topics unique to vision loss.” Listen to a recent episode to learn how the power of connection and sharing similar experiences and ideas on the journey of vision loss empowers us individually and strengthens the community as a whole. To hear the podcast, visit the webpage on Peer-to-Peer at Hadley. Workshops and discussion groups are also available. A comprehensive, practical resource for the BVI community, Hadley’s website can be explored in full by professionals, friends, family members, and individuals experiencing low vision or blindness.
