| Within the “Skills Laboratory” program the Homer association is momentarily carrying out two projects: “Tiny Dots For Me” – a project helping blind and visually impaired people achieve computer literacy and “Orientation Points” – filming an educational documentary movie geared towards the public, workshops and seminars with a core message saying that a blind and visually impaired person can demonstrate their knowledge and ability as much as the openhandedness of visually healthy people allows them to.
Three projects are in the development phase: the second phase of the “Hip Hop” project – inclusion of blind and visually impaired children into regular educational systems, “Do It Yourself” – a project enabling blind and visually impaired children practice their sensory and motor skills imperative for fulfilling different daily activities in their real social environment and “Smart Hands” – a project educating blind and visually impaired people create and manufacture products on the market.
Within the entire “Skills Laboratory” program, the association is offering consulting services for visually impaired children and their parents, it is also taking care of visually impaired people in their aging process as well as creating the Humane Club and working on establishing a professional Homer’s Library for all its users.
