Outlook Enrichment
CAPTIONS More than 15,000 people
in the Omaha metro are affected by vision loss, which is on the rise. Outlook Enrichment helps people with vision loss live life independently, confidently engage in their communities, and continue to do the things they love. The organization has expanded its program and service reach through virtual offerings. From working or learning remotely to maintaining social connection, accessibility needs became more important during the pandemic. Outlook Enrichment adapted many of its in-person programs and services to provide them in a virtual format to increase access to essential goods and services for people with vision loss, including:
Adaptive technology training program
The training program helps people with vision loss learn how to use smartphones, apps and magnification technology to maintain their employment, facilitate remote learning and stay connected to their loved ones. Outlook Enrichment’s technology trainers work one on one with clients to discuss their goals and develop a training program tailored to their needs on an ongoing basis.
Recreational/cultural events
Inclusive virtual events and activities for teens and adults help combat social isolation, a major cause of depression and anxiety for people with vision loss. Youth and adults can choose from a variety of virtual events. These events include audio-described movies, audio book clubs, board games and crafting events.
Peer support groups
Living with vision loss can be overwhelming without support. One way to stop feeling alone is to talk to others who have similar situations. Led by a trained facilitator, Outlook’s ongoing peer support groups give active adults with vision loss opportunities to share experiences and address challenges they face.
Educational seminars
Online events each month provide a format for discussion and sharing of best practices, tips and tools creating greater accessibility and inclusiveness for everyday living. Each seminar focuses on a specific topic, such as kitchen accessibility aides, home safety tips and seasonal community resources.
Living with the uncertainty of COVID-19 requires flexibility and adaptability. Both are strengths of those who live with vision conditions, especially with access to the proper tools and training. Outlook needs your help to continue assisting our neighbors living with vision loss. Please consider supporting Outlook Enrichment financially at outlooken.org/donate.
