Casework Services
Caseworkers assess the needs of the customer in their home and work with them to develop a personalized plan to help them live with vision loss. This may include in-home assistance to write checks to pay bills or make the kitchen safer by putting raised dots on stove controls to mark gradations of temperature. Customers may also be referred for orientation and mobility training and rehabilitation training.
Customers are encouraged to take advantage of monthly lifeskills programs on various topics such as home safety, dressing appropriately or learning to cook which are offered to provide information to enhance independence. They may also chose to join monthly socialization activities or enjoy recreational activities such bowling, the weekly walking program at the Lehigh Valley Mall, annual fishing trips and picnics or trips to cultural events.
Each customer receives InSights, the bimonthly customer newsletter in either large print, taped or Braille formats plus the newsletter can also be accessed on the website. They also can access the various free services offered by the regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Philadelphia.
