December 9, 2020 By The Suburban Times

Submitted by Cynthia Endicott, PCSRA Corresponding Secretary.

Jane Flower worked with older adults in the field of low-vision for over 12 years before taking her position at Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) in 2013. Jane was born legally blind and at the age of 8 was diagnosed with a retinal degenerative eye disease called Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA).

Because of her personal life experience with vision loss she was able to provide peer support to the older adults she assisted. She shared personal and professional knowledge on Braille Reading and Writing and Self Advocacy Training.
