As part of our mission to advocate for accessibility for blind and visually impaired individuals, the LightHouse offers
information conversion to alternative formats, including Braille, audio and digital formats such as DAISY.
broadCast servICes
Broadcasting 24 hours a day, LightHouse broadcast services (known as Access to Information Services (AIS) Radio) delivers
local Bay Area news, magazine articles, literature and information via the Second Audio Program (SAP) of KTVU Television
Channel 2 and can be heard on the internet. We maintain an archive of AIS Radio broadcasts available on our website.
Visit www.lighthouse-sf.org for more information on the range of programs and services offered by the LightHouse.

there are still shortcomings, Gil emphasizes that
the accessibility of information today is much
greater than it was 20 to 40 years ago. That
accessibility, he says, is critical to enabling blind
people to fully participate. “We’re such an
information-based society now that if you can’t
access that information you’re really going to be
shortchanged.”

2008 year in review 2008 proved to be a year of innovation for LightHouse programs.
JAN The inaugural class of the new Medical Transcription Program began the training of a new group of medical paraprofessionals.
FEB The Youth Services Program was a first-time host of the Northern California Braille Challenge, a day-long contest designed to
emphasize the importance of Braille proficiency. Also in February, the Vision Loss Resource Center began offering T-Maps: tactile maps of
individual neighborhoods and other specific locations. The new program was featured in a story broadcast on National Public Radio.
APR Access to Information Services launched the new LightHouse Website, which combines attractive design with screen reader and
magnification accessibility. Also, in April, the Napa Rotary Club renewed its fundraiser for Enchanted Hills Camp with the 2008 Cycle
for Sight bicycling marathon.
MAY In response to the weakening economy and stock market, LightHouse management conducted a two-day, line-by-line examination
of expenses and income to reduce spending for the 2009 fiscal year by $1M.
JUN The Advocacy and Public Policy Program, with funding from the Department of Pubic Health, launched a Pedestrian Safety Program,
including a Public Service Announcement promoting the idea “sidewalks are for everyone”. Also in June, the first phase of an on-going
fire abatement program at Enchanted Hills Camp was completed in an eco-friendly manner, utilizing a herd of 700 goats to clear
brush around the camp.
AUG Vision Rehabilitation Services increased the effectiveness of its role with the San Francisco Community Living Fund by adding a
Registered Nurse as LightHouse coordinator for the program.
OCT We saw the closure of the LightHouse store in Marin as well as the creation of a new Adaptations
Mobile Store designed to bring products into the various communities the LightHouse serves.
Also, through advocacy efforts by the LightHouse, new accessibility standards were set by the San
Francisco Department of Building Inspection relating to high tech destination elevators.
NOV We launched E-Focus, a short email-only newsletter that highlights events and breaking news
significant to our community. Go to www.lighthouse-sf.org to sign up!
DEC The Vision Loss Resource Center completed its first full year of Technology Seminars, presenting
programs covering video reading machines, affordable technology solutions, health and
technology and digital book readers.
