Session Detail





TSBVI Coffee Hour: From Independence to Empowerment - How the Words We Use Shape the Soul
Hosted via Zoom on August 24, 2026



The words we use with individuals in the disability community do more than describe; they define, inspire, and sometimes limit. In this session, we’ll explore how language directly impacts self-perception and personal growth for people with visual impairments. Together, we’ll shift the conversation from independence to empowerment, moving away from measuring success by what someone can do alone, toward celebrating confidence, collaboration, and self-determination.

Captioning will be provided. If you need any other accommodations, please email Kaycee Bennett at bennettk@tsbvi.edu.
