Changing Vision, Changing Life (in-person)
(All day)
Sep 19 – Sep 23
First In-Person Changing Vision Changing Life at San Francisco Lighthouse in three years, join us and learn.
Changing Vision Changing Life (CVCL) is an immersive learning experience, where you, the student who is new to a change in vision, can experience and learn more about what you can do now, moving forward toward the independence you want.
For one week, up to nine students will live in the LightHouse Student Residences in San Francisco and will have the perfect opportunity for meeting peers with shared experiences and teaching staff who have both personal and/or professional experience to start you on your journey.
The goal of immersion training is to provide you with a foundation of techniques, strategies, and tools to experience during the week and take home and practice. Areas of training during the week include:
- Orientation and Mobility (Discussion of Safe Travel, tools and beginning techniques)
- Independent Living Skills (Organization, tactile labeling, prep cooking skills, and more)
- Access Technology (Discussion and demonstration of adaptive tools, software, hardware and other devices that assist in independent communication, personal and home management)
- Facilitated discussion groups that explore challenges, changes, resources and opportunity
Who is Eligible to Participate?
This first in-person immersion week is specifically for low vision or blind persons 55 and older living in the following counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity.
Individuals interested in this learning opportunity are expected to actively participate for the five days/four nights and must be able to provide self-care (bathing, medication, dressing, maintain their own living space).
