A Vision Loser's Guide to Services in Prescott Arizona
Compiled January 2008 by Susan Gerhart to accompany blog "As Your World Changes" at http://asyourworldchanges.wordpress.com.
Resources are divided into National Organizations, Arizona Social Services, and Prescott news links. Please send additions and corrections to slger@apodder.org.
Social Services
Warning: Web searches often turn up out-dated information.
Information Resources
When you cannot read print any more, RSS of news sources is a wonderful replacement. Unfortunately, the local information resources are still challenged by RSS feeds but here are a few to try or to use as websites:
National Organizations
Wish List
- More RSS feeds for Prescott area and for Arizona vision-related topics
- Mobile optimized web pages that are easier to read, e.g. m.gmail.com or the accessible page from amazon
- Google and other tips for handling attachments, see below, as DOC and PDF often require conversion to TXT.
Handy Google gmail tip for attachments: use Gmail mobile web page to get more direct access to the inbox with options below the table. Click the attachments link then Save Link As a DOC or PDF attachment and Google will convert it to HTML for easier reading, just as in the "View as HTML" link in search results. Very handy to avoid launching a heavy-duty application to read only text from a document.
