Disability Diagnosis Dialogues Panel - ABLENH
Online Event
ABLE NH hears concerns from families about how they received a pre- or postnatal diagnosis of disability. In an effort to improve how and what families are told regarding life with a disability in the early stages of their journey, we are hosting a virtual panel with families and experts.This panel is a resource for healthcare professionals to help them understand the impact of their delivery of a diagnosis of disability, and an invitation to consider joining our team planning 2021 continuing education workshops.This event is also an opportunity for New Hampshire families to share their own experiences. Your stories are important to us!ABLE NH recognizes that changing the social narrative on disability from “disability is outside of the normal human experience” to instead describe disability as a “natural part of the diversity of human experience,” is critical to delivering justice and equity to the lives of people who happen to experience disability. - -

Fit and Fabulous! Furture In Sight
Yoga and Nutrition Series with Michelle Dowling and Michelle Moreau
Each session will start with yoga. Learn more about balance, orientation, and exercise, as Michelle Dowling uses tools such as chair yoga and gradually adds to what you can do at your own pace.
Michelle Dowling is a certified yoga instructor. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
The second portion of the class will be led by Michelle Moreau, CC, RDN, LD. She comes to us from Healthy in the Kitchen Nutrition Services out of Portsmouth, NH. Meal planning and cooking methods along with activity balanced with exercise and healthy eating for a wellness way of life Michelle will cover topics such as how to read and relate the facts on food labels and apply it to a healthy lifestyle. We will also cover some of the unique roadblocks that may stand in the way for a healthy lifestyle with vision loss. For example, farm fresh is best, but how do you gain access to farm stands when you don’t drive? How do you read the nutrition information on food products, if you cannot see the print? We’ll cover how to use apps such as My Fitness Pal with magnification and speech. Take heart, as there are ways around these challenges and more, which you will hear about in this Fit and Fabulous series.
To register, please contact Stephanie Hurd, Assistive Technology & Activity Specialist, and include Fit and Fabulous in the subject line shurd@futureinsight.org
