VIP Star
For visually impaired people
Who is the VIP Star for?
The VIP Star has been developed for people with visual impairment to help them manage well both at home and out and about and live the life that is right for them. It has specific accessibility features built into the VIP Star Online and the VIP paper-based materials.
The Star helps them and the people supporting them, identify progress towards key outcomes like managing visual impairment, health, where you live, and dignity, and give clarity on where to focus next.
Using the Outcomes Star approach
The VIP Star is designed to be used as part of the Outcomes Star approach. That’s why we provide essential training and ongoing support to all licenced practitioners, so you can embed the Outcomes Star approach in your practice.
How does the VIP Star work?
The VIP Star covers nine key outcome areas that helps people manage their visual impairment in their daily life, and assesses their progress towards each following a five-stage Journey of Change.
You and the people you support will fill out the Star together, and use it to better identify where their strengths lie and where they might need more help, and to make plans for moving forward along the journey.
