ANNUAL REPORT 2022 [ 32] BUCKS COUNTY ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED88% INCREASE IN GROCERY SHOPPING TRIPSREBUILD PROGRAMS WITH SERVICE LEVELS AFFECTED BY COVID  REVISE SERVICES TO MEET THE GROWING NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT  Preschool vision screenings reach, identify, and give resources to approximately 5% of the children in Bucks County who have undiagnosed vision problems. We had to rebuild our program after many of our preschool partners experienced temporary closings and decreased enrollment during COVID. We stayed connected with these preschools, developed relationships with new schools, and formed a partnership with our local United Way. With our expanded community networks we ensured even more Bucks County kids began their education with the best possible sight.Over the course of COVID, our clients experienced a decline in support systems available to help with daily needs. Requests for transportation, assistance with doctors appointments, shopping for groceries, and bill paying/mail reading increased signicantly. Our services are driven by the needs of our clients and community, so we reallocated resources and increased our capacity to address this growing need. 2020-2021 2020-20212021-2022 2021-20222020-2021 2021-20222020-2021 2021-20222020-2021 2021-2022584 2,151157% INCREASE IN SITES268% INCREASE IN SCREENINGS61% INCREASE IN MAIL READING/ BILL PAYING SESSIONS51% INCREASE IN DOCTOR’S VISITS26676789104110167158“We had no clue Sawyer needed glasses. He wasn’t squinting, saying he couldn’t see, or showing any signs of having a vision problem. He got frustrated with tasks sometimes, but Sawyer is a high energy kid so that seemed normal for his age. If Sawyer had not been screened at his preschool another year could have gone by without us knowing he couldn’t see clearly and his frustration in school would have grown. These are such important and informative years and he could easily have fallen behind. After he got his glasses, we started to notice a difference in Sawyer. More importantly, Sawyer noticed a difference right away for himself. Now he is doing great and never wants to take his glasses off!” —Laura G. (Sawyer’s mom)“I use my iPhone to manage many of my daily tasks, but not everything can be done online. Even though I have lived in Doylestown for eight years I still feel vulnerable going to busy areas or places I don’t know on my own. Andy has been a lifesaver. He takes me to the grocery store and runs errands with me so I can get things done. Having someone I can trust and rely on for help not only makes my life easier, but has opened new doors for me. Andy also lives in Doylestown and every time we go out together he introduces me to new places in our community and expands my comfort zone.” —Joe S.“My family doesn’t understand how I can live on my own with a visual impairment. They try to get involved with the details of my life rather than encouraging me to do things myself. I am so thankful for the support and in home services available to me. With BCABVI’s help, I have been able to live independently and maintain my dignity while proving to my family I am a capable person deserving of their respect.” —Antionette S.

We simplied it and created a coordinated, easy process for our clients to access resources and services. A Client Navigator position was created with three focus areas: 1) to be the central point of contact for clients 2) to ensure clients have the information needed to make informed decisions and 3) to develop and manage a plan of care that promotes clients’ personal growth and well being.During the pandemic, it became clear that many of our clients lacked the skills needed to adapt to new situations created by COVID. Access to rehabilitation services was limited due to gaps in insurance coverage and two year waiting lists for state assistance. This motivated us to take action and create our own Rehabilitation Services Department. We encouraged our clients’ independence by teaching safe travel skills (orientation and mobility), use of adapted technology and devices (assistive technology), and strategies for completing daily living activities (occupational therapy).ORIENTATION AND MOBILITY (HOURS)ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY (HOURS)OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY REFERRALS31.51415584.523179.52020-2021 2021-2022 2020-2021 2021-2022 2020-2021 2021-2022IN HER FIRST THREE MONTHS, OUR CLIENT NAVIGATOR HELPED23%OF OUR CLINIC PATIENTS CONNECT WITH OTHER SERVICES AT BCABVIIN HOME SUPPORT • PEER SUPPORT GROUPS • REHABILITATION SERVICES • HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAMS • SOCIAL ACTIVITIES CASE MANAGEMENT • TRANSPORTATION SERVICES“I was employed as a social worker for over 44 years, so I know how good service systems should work. I dedicated my entire career to serving people and getting them the help they needed. I never thought I would need help myself until I lost my vision. There isn’t a handbook that tells you what services are available for vision loss, but when I connected with the competent and compassionate staff at BCABVI they made it easy for me. I could call one person who could answer my questions and help me gure out and coordinate the services I needed. During a time when everything feels overwhelming, it really helps to have someone who knows your name and helps you nd your way.” —Rita W.“Losing my vision scared me. I felt inadequate because I had to depend on other people to do things I used to take for granted. While my husband has been very supportive, I worried about what would happen if he couldn’t be there for me. Each new skill I learn helps me build condence and realize my own potential. I am excited about my future because I know I can still be independent and happy.” —Karin S. “When I started losing my vision I did research and tried to learn on my own. I got discouraged because there was so much information available and I didn’t know what options were the best for me. With the guidance and expertise provided by my Low Vision Therapist at BCABVI, I am enthusiastic about learning again. I want her to teach me everything she knows so I can learn, do, and get back out there to nd my next passion!” —Nancy P.
