What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? THE PURPOSE OF THE CENTER IS TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS FOR CLIENTS WHO ARE LEGALLY BLIND OR SEVERELY VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND ALSO TO PREVENT VISION LOSS THROUGH VISION SCREENINGS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION.
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner, describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title.
28 INDEPENDENT LIVING ACCOMPLISHMENTS SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM GOAL IS: TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY VISUALLY IMPAIRED. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PROVIDING EVALUATIONS, LOW VISION AND ADAPTIVE AIDS, AND TRAINING SO OUR CONSUMERS CAN REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES AND FUNCTION SAFELY AND INDEPENDENTLY. SIMPLE THINGS LIKE COOKING, READING RECIPES, IDENTIFYING A CAN OF SOUP, OR MANAGING MEDICATIONS CAN BECOME A STRUGGLE. SOMETIMES THESE ISSUES BECOME MORE CRITICAL TO OUR CONSUMERS' HEALTH, FOR EXAMPLE: ACCURATELY DRAWING INSULIN SYRINGES TO MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. OUR CONSUMERS DESIRE TO MAINTAIN THESE LIFE SKILLS AND WE WANT TO BE THE SOLUTION TO THEIR EVERYDAY PROBLEMS. THE AGENCY PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES/IMPACTS TO ITS CONSUMERS: 1) MAINTAINED INDEPENDENCE, 2) REGAINED INDEPENDENCE, AND 3) INCREASED SOCIALIZATION. THE AGENCY CONTINUED TO SECURE FUNDING FROM THE OHIO REHABILITATION SERVICES COMMISSION, UNITED WAY OF FAIRFIELD AND HOCKING COUNTIES, FAIRFIELD COUNTY FOUNDATION, ATHENS COUNTY FOUNDATION AND LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS. THE FUNDING FROM THE TWO FOUNDATIONS ALLOWED THE AGENCY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VIDEO MAGNIFICATION LOANED TO CONSUMERS OF THE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. THE SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER SERVED 284 CONSUMERS IN 2012. 96 WHO HAD INDEPENDENT LIVING CASES WERE SERVED THROUGH THE OHIO REHABILITATION SERVICES COMMISSION. THE CONSUMERS RECEIVED EVALUATIONS, REHABILITATION TEACHING, LOW VISION AIDS AND ADAPTIVE AIDS, WITH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ACCOMPLISHED SUCCESSFULLY. THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSUMERS WERE SERVED IN VARIOUS WAYS THROUGH OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING: 48 WERE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER AGENCIES TO BE SERVED, 44 CLOSED FROM REFERRAL FROM SOSC, BUT GIVEN INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE SERVICES FROM OTHER AGENCIES, 38 CONSUMERS PURCHASED AIDS FROM SOSC WITHOUT TRAINING, 78 RECEIVED INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THEIR NEEDS, 8 RECEIVED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TALKING BOOKS PROGRAM. THESE CONSUMERS HAD VARIOUS DIAGNOSES: MACULAR DEGENERATION: 67.2%STROKE: 3.8% GLAUCOMA: 2.3% RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA: 2.3% CATARACTS: 4.2%HISTOPLASMOSIS: 6.8% DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: 6.4% 39% OF OUR CONSUMERS WERE FROM FAIRFIELD COUNTY, WITH 61% OF ALL THE REFERRALS WERE FROM OTHER SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES THE AGENCY SERVES. WITH REGARDS TO OUTCOMES, 96 CONSUMERS WERE SERVED AND CLOSED WITH COMPLETE INDEPENDENT LIVING PLANS. AFTER AGENCY SERVICES, 82% OF THE CONSUMERS HAD IMPROVED THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND 52% FELT SAFER IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. PREVENTION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE GOAL OF THE PREVENTION PROGRAM IS TO SCREEN FOR UNDETECTED EYE CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AFFECTING CHILDREN AND ADULTS. WITHOUT EARLY DETECTION WE ARE SETTING CHILDREN UP FOR FAILURE IN SCHOOL AND AT HOME. 80% OF LEARNING IN A CHILD'S FIRST 12 YEARS COMES THROUGH THE EYES AMBLYOPIA WHICH AFFECTS 3 PERCENT OF ALL CHILDREN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE LOSS OF VISION IN PEOPLE AGE 45 AND YOUNGER THAN ALL OTHER EYE DISEASES AND TRAUMA COMBINED. ALL CHILDREN REFERRED ARE CONTACTED BY THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR. IF A CHILD'S PARENTS CANNOT AFFORD EYEGLASSES OR AN EYE EXAM THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR CAN REFER THESE FAMILIES TO "SIGHT FOR STUDENTS" A PREVENT BLINDNESS OHIO PROGRAM. CURRENTLY THE SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER IS THE ONLY ENTITY PROVIDING VISION SCREENINGS AT THE PRE-SCHOOL LEVEL AND FOR ADULTS THROUGHOUT FAIRFIELD COUNTY. THE AGENCY IS NOT ONLY PROVIDING SCREENINGS BUT IMPLEMENTING EDUCATION AND OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY. THE AGENCY CONTINUED ITS COLLABORATION WITH PREVENT BLINDNESS OHIO'S VISION CARE OUTREACH PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM ENABLES THE AGENCY TO BE A LIAISON FOR ADULT INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED EYE CARE AND EYEGLASSES IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY. WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE 5 CLIENTS IN THIS PROGRAM. THE AGENCY WITH A GRANT FROM THE GORDON FLESCH FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED A NEW PROGRAM, VISION CARE SOLUTIONS, WHICH COVERS THE COST OF EYE EXAMS AND EYE GLASSES FOR ALL CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS OLD WHO CANNOT AFFORD SUCH PREVENTION. THE PREVENTION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO SECURE FUNDING THROUGH FAIRFIELD COUNTY UNITED WAY, LIONS CLUBS AND OTHER LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS. THE FOLLOWING UNITS OF SERVICES WERE COLLECTED FOR 2012 WITH 74% PRESCHOOL CHILDREN RECEIVING CARE AND 25% OF ADULTS RECEIVED CARE. PREVENTION PROGRAM PRESCHOOL CHILDREN SCREENED 366 CHILDREN REFERRED 23 - 17 RECEIVED CARE ADULTS SCREENED 122 ADULTS REFERRED 32 - 8 RECEIVED CARE VISION CARE OUTREACH VISION CARE SOLUTIONS 51 TOTALS 492 SCREENED 55 REFERRED 6 PARTICIPATES IN OTHER PROGRAMS

PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE FORM 990-EZ, PART III THE PURPOSE OF THE CENTER IS TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS FOR CLIENTS WHO ARE LEGALLY BLIND OR SEVERELY VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND ALSO TO PREVENT VISION LOSS THROUGH VISION SCREENINGS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28 INDEPENDENT LIVING ACCOMPLISHMENTS SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM GOAL IS: TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY VISUALLY IMPAIRED. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PROVIDING EVALUATIONS, LOW VISION AND ADAPTIVE AIDS, AND TRAINING SO OUR CONSUMERS CAN REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES AND FUNCTION SAFELY AND INDEPENDENTLY. SIMPLE THINGS LIKE COOKING, READING RECIPES, IDENTIFYING A CAN OF SOUP, OR MANAGING MEDICATIONS CAN BECOME A STRUGGLE. SOMETIMES THESE ISSUES BECOME MORE CRITICAL TO OUR CONSUMERS' HEALTH, FOR EXAMPLE: ACCURATELY DRAWING INSULIN SYRINGES TO MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. OUR CONSUMERS DESIRE TO MAINTAIN THESE LIFE SKILLS AND WE WANT TO BE THE SOLUTION TO THEIR EVERYDAY PROBLEMS. THE AGENCY PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES/IMPACTS TO ITS CONSUMERS: 1) MAINTAINED INDEPENDENCE, 2) REGAINED INDEPENDENCE, AND 3) INCREASED SOCIALIZATION. THE AGENCY CONTINUED TO SECURE FUNDING FROM THE OHIO REHABILITATION SERVICES COMMISSION, UNITED WAY OF FAIRFIELD AND HOCKING COUNTIES, FAIRFIELD COUNTY FOUNDATION, ATHENS COUNTY FOUNDATION AND LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS. THE FUNDING FROM THE TWO FOUNDATIONS ALLOWED THE AGENCY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VIDEO MAGNIFICATION LOANED TO CONSUMERS OF THE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. THE SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER SERVED 284 CONSUMERS IN 2012. 96 WHO HAD INDEPENDENT LIVING CASES WERE SERVED THROUGH THE OHIO REHABILITATION SERVICES COMMISSION. THE CONSUMERS RECEIVED EVALUATIONS, REHABILITATION TEACHING, LOW VISION AIDS AND ADAPTIVE AIDS, WITH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ACCOMPLISHED SUCCESSFULLY. THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSUMERS WERE SERVED IN VARIOUS WAYS THROUGH OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING: 48 WERE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER AGENCIES TO BE SERVED, 44 CLOSED FROM REFERRAL FROM SOSC, BUT GIVEN INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE SERVICES FROM OTHER AGENCIES, 38 CONSUMERS PURCHASED AIDS FROM SOSC WITHOUT TRAINING, 78 RECEIVED INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THEIR NEEDS, 8 RECEIVED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TALKING BOOKS PROGRAM. THESE CONSUMERS HAD VARIOUS DIAGNOSES: MACULAR DEGENERATION: 67.2%STROKE: 3.8% GLAUCOMA: 2.3% RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA: 2.3% CATARACTS: 4.2%HISTOPLASMOSIS: 6.8% DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: 6.4% 39% OF OUR CONSUMERS WERE FROM FAIRFIELD COUNTY, WITH 61% OF ALL THE REFERRALS WERE FROM OTHER SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES THE AGENCY SERVES. WITH REGARDS TO OUTCOMES, 96 CONSUMERS WERE SERVED AND CLOSED WITH COMPLETE INDEPENDENT LIVING PLANS. AFTER AGENCY SERVICES, 82% OF THE CONSUMERS HAD IMPROVED THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND 52% FELT SAFER IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. PREVENTION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE GOAL OF THE PREVENTION PROGRAM IS TO SCREEN FOR UNDETECTED EYE CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AFFECTING CHILDREN AND ADULTS. WITHOUT EARLY DETECTION WE ARE SETTING CHILDREN UP FOR FAILURE IN SCHOOL AND AT HOME. 80% OF LEARNING IN A CHILD'S FIRST 12 YEARS COMES THROUGH THE EYES AMBLYOPIA WHICH AFFECTS 3 PERCENT OF ALL CHILDREN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE LOSS OF VISION IN PEOPLE AGE 45 AND YOUNGER THAN ALL OTHER EYE DISEASES AND TRAUMA COMBINED. ALL CHILDREN REFERRED ARE CONTACTED BY THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR. IF A CHILD'S PARENTS CANNOT AFFORD EYEGLASSES OR AN EYE EXAM THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR CAN REFER THESE FAMILIES TO "SIGHT FOR STUDENTS" A PREVENT BLINDNESS OHIO PROGRAM. CURRENTLY THE SOUTHEAST OHIO SIGHT CENTER IS THE ONLY ENTITY PROVIDING VISION SCREENINGS AT THE PRE-SCHOOL LEVEL AND FOR ADULTS THROUGHOUT FAIRFIELD COUNTY. THE AGENCY IS NOT ONLY PROVIDING SCREENINGS BUT IMPLEMENTING EDUCATION AND OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY. THE AGENCY CONTINUED ITS COLLABORATION WITH PREVENT BLINDNESS OHIO'S VISION CARE OUTREACH PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM ENABLES THE AGENCY TO BE A LIAISON FOR ADULT INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED EYE CARE AND EYEGLASSES IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY. WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE 5 CLIENTS IN THIS PROGRAM. THE AGENCY WITH A GRANT FROM THE GORDON FLESCH FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED A NEW PROGRAM, VISION CARE SOLUTIONS, WHICH COVERS THE COST OF EYE EXAMS AND EYE GLASSES FOR ALL CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS OLD WHO CANNOT AFFORD SUCH PREVENTION. THE PREVENTION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO SECURE FUNDING THROUGH FAIRFIELD COUNTY UNITED WAY, LIONS CLUBS AND OTHER LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS. THE FOLLOWING UNITS OF SERVICES WERE COLLECTED FOR 2012 WITH 74% PRESCHOOL CHILDREN RECEIVING CARE AND 25% OF ADULTS RECEIVED CARE. PREVENTION PROGRAM PRESCHOOL CHILDREN SCREENED 366 CHILDREN REFERRED 23 - 17 RECEIVED CARE ADULTS SCREENED 122 ADULTS REFERRED 32 - 8 RECEIVED CARE VISION CARE OUTREACH VISION CARE SOLUTIONS 51 TOTALS 492 SCREENED 55 REFERRED 6 PARTICIPATES IN OTHER PROGRAMS
