About
Outlook Enrichment launched its Independent Living program in the fall of 2020. Early virtual sessions focused on essential safety topics, such as cleaning procedures, using safety precautions when using sighted guides, and adaptive aids for labeling and organization.
In 2021, we expanded our services to include monthly virtual workshops on independent living skills such as safe cooking and home organization. By 2022, the program grew to offer in-home training and small group classes, allowing us to better meet individuals where they are literally and figuratively.
How It Works
Independent living training is available in person and virtually to accommodate each client’s preferences and needs. Sessions begin with a personalized assessment to determine the client’s current level of independence, including skills like safe cooking techniques, time/money management, labeling/organization tips, and medication management tools and aids.
Once the assessment is completed, the participant and trainer establish specific goals that the client works toward. All training is completed at the client’s pace while skills are developed and objectives are met toward the independent living goal.
Remote, independent-living skills classes focus on a specific topic or skill set. These group classes are open to anyone interested in gaining knowledge, tips, and tricks from peers with vision loss.
