Visually-Impaired Kids Learn To Water Ski Thanks To Oklahoma Nonprofit

A nonprofit that serves the visually-impaired and blind hit the water Thursday at Lake Tenkiller. NewView Oklahoma spent the day teaching campers how to waterski. Waterskiing isn t a sport that cares if you have 20/20 vision - it is all about the joy of standing up, of being out on the water, and of doing something you didn t realize you could do. Most of the kids here, they are partially sighted, so they have some vision but not very good acuity, said Dr. Larry Riley, Volunteer NewView Oklahoma.  A lot of it is mind over matter, just being willing to try this stuff.

NewView Kids With Vision Challenges Visit The Oklahoma City Zoo

NewView Oklahoma is a local nonprofit serving Oklahomans with vision loss. They host camps and activities throughout the year and Friday some of those kids took a visit to the Oklahoma City Zoo. While most people wouldn’t consider the zoo as a place for kids with vision challenges, Andrea Hamen believes it is perfect.  “We’re really excited to be able to go through the zoo. Jacob and I will work the kids on a small intimate experience so that we can really talk to them about what the animals look like and maybe if we know what the texture of the animals feel like,” Hamen said.
