A Quick Update from Blind on the Move
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a quick update with you.
I recently finished refreshing the Blind on the Move website. It now provides a place to learn more about who I am, the work I do, and what is coming next.
I also recorded a short welcome video introducing myself and explaining what I hope to share through Blind on the Move. More instructional videos, practical resources, and helpful content will be added over time.

This Week’s Practical Tip
Give frequently used belongings a consistent home.
Choose one dependable location for items such as keys, medications, charging cables, remote controls, and everyday tools. Returning each item to the same location can make it easier to find independently and reduce the frustration of searching.
If several items feel similar, consider separating them into different containers or adding tactile labels that can be identified by touch.
