** Caring Calls from LightHouse

“I’m so glad that you called.” – said Isabelle, a LightHouse community member in response to a recent “CARE CALL”

Being blind or visually impaired can be isolating. Even prior to the pandemic we are currently facing, far too many people who are blind stay at home, fearful of going out in the world.

Under ordinary circumstances LightHouse works relentlessly to combat this isolation, bringing blind people together in immersive classes and growing a community of support, learning and engagement. But now, as we do our part to flatten and lengthen the curve, LightHouse is finding new and meaningful ways to keep making life-changing connections, despite the limitations of “shelter in place.”

In response to the mandated social distancing which closed LightHouse offices in March, LightHouse has begun making “Caring Calls.” Almost 1/3 of our staff are making thousands of calls to LightHouse community members, checking in on their mental and physical wellbeing. Staff compiled resource lists for all twelve Bay Area counties with information on getting groceries, eviction and legal resources and transit information. The calls let people know about our new remote programming to foster dialogue, encourage our communities use of accessible tech to stay connected, ideas on how to maintain fitness and a host of new options for blind people of all ages. For example, Coffee with Mike Cole, a weekly in-person get together at the LightHouse where people talk about a variety of topics, is now offered by Zoom and phone. In this time of seclusion this opportunity for comradery has proven quite popular, and participation has tripled. Some students are even opting to receive a regular call from a volunteer who checks-in on how they are doing.

Isabelle, a 67-year-old student visited the LightHouse to learn white cane skills last year. In a recent call she told us that although she was doing fine and had moved in with her family to ensure that she has ready access to meals, she still felt tremendously displaced and disconnected. The LightHouse staff member was able to refer Isabelle to a LightHouse counselor to receive therapy from afar through this hard time.

** Hands-On Goes Virtual (online)

With the outbreak of the coronavirus and strict orders on social distancing, the world around us is changing the way we are operating in order to conduct business as usual. The dedicated staff at LightHouse has welcomed the challenge and have been offering a variety of virtual programs and workshops via the online application Zoom. One of the star programs in our virtual lineup is our Independent Living Skills (ILS) workshop, Hands-On, hosted by a dynamic duo of ILS specialists, Bobbi Pompey and Dawn Leeflang. Every Friday morning from 10:00 for an hour and a half LightHouse students from all over the Bay Area call in on their phones or internet devices to learn ILS “life hacks” through interactive instruction and discussions with the group leaders.

“Hands-On” is not new to LightHouse students, but Bobbi and Dawn have significantly expanded their program from a monthly workshop offered at two separate LightHouse sites to a weekly workshop. Over the past few weeks Hands-On has gained a huge following. The most attended workshop thus far has been the COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness course. The instructors discussed what essential items should be included in emergency “Go Bags,” how and where to obtain these items, and, perhaps the most relevant and requested ILS tip, how to make simple and effective face masks from items found in your home.

“We have had to create the virtual workshops with a short turnaround time; we did not have the curriculum for Zoom workshops in our back pocket, so we had to improvise quickly.” says instructor Dawn Leeflang. “’In Case of Emergency’ was initially going to focus on basic Emergency Preparedness, but we expanded it to include Shelter in Place guidelines related to the current COVID-19 emergency, including making a simple face mask.”

Hands On regular, Cheryl P. says, “I find the program very informative. It keeps me up to date on information… Being at home right now, it’s just me. So, this also gives me the opportunity to connect with other people.”

Many students agree, the ability to connect and interact with one another has been just as valuable as the skills and information discussed in the workshops. There has been a noticeable increase in participation. Some students with limited mobility or travel options have found the virtual workshops more accessible than the traditional in-person workshops. “The expansion of online services and programs has helped LightHouse staff and students stay connected, informed, and contributive to the blind community.

“Virtual workshops are something I definitely want to continue developing and offering, moving forward,” says Leeflang.

If you are learning about Hands-On for the first time and are kicking yourself for missing the essential “At Home Face Masks” instructions, the steps can be found by following this link to a PDF (http://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hands-On-Workshop-In-Case-of-Emergency.pdf) created by ILS instructor Dawn Leeflang.

** Level Up Your Listening Skills: Taking Advantage of Text to Speech (online)
------------------------------------------------------------
Screen Readers, document readers, Smart Speakers; as people who are blind and have low vision, we are surrounded by synthetic speech. Unfortunately, for some of us, the less than human tones issuing from these devices can make it difficult to comprehend the information we receive. Despite this, Text to Speech is an incredibly powerful option, and you can learn to make the most of listening with a minimum of discomfort.

In this workshop, we want to talk about ways that you can get used to using text to speech for the first time, or learn to listen with greater speed and efficiency.

This workshop will cover:
* Why and how you might add text to speech to your toolbox.
* Customizing your experience: Choose the right voice for the job, and then teach it to tell you what you need to know in the best way to say it.
* Tips and Tricks for increasing the amount you can read, how fast you can read it, and how well you understand it.

This workshop will be conducted using the Zoom platform. You can connect to Zoom using a computer, an app or by dialing in from any phone. Zoom meeting details will be provided when you RSVP to Abigail Decker:  adecker at lighthouse-sf.org (mailto:adecker at lighthouse-sf.org)  or 415-694-7343 Thursday, May 21 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
