in the air and our summer residential programs over for one more year, you would
think that things would quiet down here, at least a bit! I am happy to
report, however, that the Center is just as vibrant and busy as always.
Thanks to your support, we continue to have new students enroll into our full
time Independence Training Program. We learn about seniors who have lost
their vision and get to begin working with them. Blind children and teens
participate in our year round programs for youth. People on the street
always want to learn about the Center! Along with our students and staff,
all of you are ambassadors for the Center and for blind individuals who need
training. The work that you do is vital for the prosperity of the
Center. I thank each and every one of you for your contribution!

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Jennifer Stevens
began her career at the Center in 1992. As a recent college graduate,
Jennifer knew nothing about working with blind people. Initially, she was
hired as a Job Placement Specialist because she had the creativity, excitement
and passion to find people jobs. Jennifer had sleep shade training and
learned from positive blind role models that blindness is not limiting in any
way. Jennifer has worked for the Center as the Director of Career
Services, Grant Writer and Director of Community Development. She has
overseen building operations and construction and, like all of our staff
members, Jennifer is always up for a challenge and new learning.

married and has two wonderful children, Andrew age nine and Alena age
seven. She has decided to leave her full time position with us in order to
devote much of her energy and talent towards home schooling her children.
We have no doubt that her kids will be enriched and some of the best educated
kids around with Jennifer in charge. Jennifer will continue to write
grants for the Center. Jennifer will always be one of us: she is
blind at heart.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

is challenge recreation, for without challenge and pushing limits, confidence

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">To kick the
school year off, several students and their parents had an opportunity to go
rock climbing. Clear Creek is a beautiful setting just perfect for
climbing. The instructors from the National Sports Center for the Disabled
set up four climbs that varied in difficulty. Six kids of all ages and
their parents were eager to begin. Everyone put on special shoes that make
it possible to climb up a sheer rock with few holds. The group was taught
how to belay. As each participant climbed, everyone cheered them on.
Ian, age ten, loved climbing so much and after completing all four climbs he was
known as Tarzan. The parents were eager to climb with sleepshades and
learned that it is very possible to feel for holds. Everyone was challenged and
had a great time. </SPAN></P>

“Seniors in Charge” Program Provides Essential Training to Seniors with Vision
Loss</SPAN></I></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">A trip to the
grocery store? An outing to the 16th Street Mall? An email
communication? Not a big deal, right? Not the case for seniors with
vision loss. Keeping up with changes in technology is challenging enough
for those who weren’t born post 1990! Add blindness, vision loss,
and a variety of other sight related diseases such as macular degeneration and
retinitis pigmentosa (RP) to the equation, and the outcome is typically
frustration and discouragement. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Not so for the
seniors who recently participated in “Seniors In Charge”, a three day program
offered by the Colorado Center for the Blind at no cost. Seniors with
varying degrees of vision loss took part in mobility, home management, and
technology training. “The goal of the program is to keep visually impaired
seniors living independently for as long as possible. If blindness is the
only factor impacting the senior, there is no reason he or she can’t live
independently,” says Duncan Larsen, Senior Services Coordinator for the
Center. Participants received an introduction to Braille, adaptive
technologies such as electronic readers, Newsline, screen readers, and traveled
with the assistance of a long white cane, a tool frequently used by blind
persons to safely navigate their surroundings independently.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Often seniors
feel disconnected to friends and family. With technology taking over
routine, daily communications (what once was a phone call is now an email or
text), seniors often feel left out. Colorado Center for the Blind steps in
and provides basic training on these skills. “I didn’t think I could even
use a computer before today, and now I can use one without a screen,” said one
enthusiastic program participant. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">“This is often
the case with our participants. They come the first day with all sorts of
misconceptions of what they can and can’t do as blind individuals. They
leave the Center at the end of the program with a new understanding of what
possibilities exist,” explains Larsen. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">In addition to
technology class, several outings were planned throughout the three day session
for the group. A trip to the grocery store provided a non-traditional
training opportunity. Participants learned that eyesight is not the only
sense that is useful when navigating a grocery store. “If you are looking
for the coffee aisle, your sense of smell is just as useful” explained Anahit
LaBarre, Senior Services Instructor, who taught the group to follow the aroma of
hazelnut to find the coffee aisle! In addition, the seniors used smell and
touch to discern the quality and freshness of their selections before adding the
items to their grocery carts. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Seniors also
enjoyed a trip on the light rail from the Littleton station to downtown Denver.
For some, the trip was filled with firsts−first time on the light rail, first
time on the 16th Street mall shuttle, first time on an escalator without vision,
and the first time in a crowded buffet line navigating a tray of food and a
cane−all without sight. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Inclusion of
family members is a key component of the program. On the last day of
class, the participants prepared a meal for their family and friends.
Seeing what their loved ones accomplished in such a short time at the Center
provided a sense of hope and a glimpse at what can be achieved with practice,
the proper tools, and additional training. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The program’s
success was summarized best at a recent student meeting. “Our seniors in
this week’s program have raised the bar for all of us here at the Center,”
proclaimed Brent Batron, Youth Services Coordinator, to a group of younger
students in the Independence Training Program. Telling a group of mostly
twenty and thirty-somethings they had been outdone by a group of individuals old
enough to be their parents or grandparents provided ample motivation to work
even harder during their time at the Center. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">More “Seniors in
Charge” training sessions are planned for the future. </SPAN></P>

Broadway Gala</SPAN></I></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The Colorado
Center for the Blind held its annual Gala − Hats Off to Broadway, a musical
tribute − on Saturday evening, August 27th. Patrons, students, and staff
stepped out in their finest for an evening of festivities under the stars which
included fabulous fare provided by local Littleton restaurants, a musical
performance by the Littleton Town Hall Art Center singers, and a live (and
lively!) auction capping off the night. The grounds of the Center were
transformed into a magical open-air musical venue complete with a Rocky
Mountain sunset backdrop. The picture perfect evening raised thousands of
dollars for the Center’s children’s and youth programs which provide canes to
children in need, Braille training and skills to lead a life without
limitations. Thank you to everyone who participated in the event!
