Is your vision fading?  Mobile Solutions, a specialized van that brings the Braille Institute's programs and services to those unable to travel to the center in Los Angeles, is now coming to Manhattan Beach on a monthly basis.  Free low-vision rehabilitation consultations are available by appointment.  You can also sign up for the Braille Institute's Library Services and those qualified can sign up to receive talking books.  The Mobile Solutions van is equipped with high-powered magnifiers, closed-circuit televisions and other adaptive equipment to help maximize remaining vision.  The van also features display areas where you can purchase unique adaptive equipment.

Appointments are necessary.  For appointments, call (323) 663-1111, extension 1242.
