Maureen Croft
I am the adoptive mother of twins born prematurely with disabilities. When Anthony was two years old, I enrolled him in swim lessons at the Lighthouse of Houston. Recreation therapists worked with Anthony, who was not yet walking, to teach him all the pieces that must come together for one to swim. Not only did Anthony learn to swim, but he also took his first steps three months after starting swim lessons. He was 27 months old. To this day, I attribute Anthony’s ability to walk to the recreation therapy he received in the pool at the Lighthouse of Houston.

I have worked for the Lighthouse of Houston for 20 fabulous years! I went through the Lighthouse’s medical transcription vocational program and was hired immediately. I love what I do and wanted to make it a career, so I pursued and became a Certified Medical Transcriptionist. This was not an easy task due to the limitations and lack of modifications for people who are blind/visually impaired but they allowed me to use a reader and I passed and am one of only 1,500 Certified Medical Transcriptionists in the U.S. I was also named Employee of the year in 2008 by the National Industries for the Blind because of my employment at the Lighthouse, and I was truly humbled. I continue to work on increasing my knowledge and education and recently became a Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist which increased my critical thinking skills. I receive so much support and mentorship from my supervisor and other Lighthouse staff, and I am grateful for all the Lighthouse of Houston has given me over the past 20 years.

I had another great day seeing a gentleman who has Parkinson’s Disease and is having difficulty with visual processing and a convergence insufficiency. By adding prism to his glasses for reading, it should improve his ability to read for sustained periods. I also prescribed him exercises to assist with getting his eyes working together. He and his wife were grateful for the extra time spent to help him with his vision. He is a vet, and I have the pleasure of seeing Veterans while working at the VA but it is wonderful to support him at the Lighthouse of Houston.

Joy and I contribute to the Lighthouse of Houston because of all that it does for the community. There is no other organization in this area that does more for the blind and visually impaired than the Lighthouse. It is a real Houston treasure and one that we are honored to support.
