Welcome!
With the proper training, and possibly adaptive aids, blind and visually impaired people can continue the same activities they enjoyed before their vision loss, and remain living independently within their homes. For example, some basic adaptations enable our participants to garden, cook, perform woodwork, bowl and golf, sew clothes, play board games or cards, and several other activities. All of our services work towards improving the quality of life and level of independence available to blind and visually impaired participants.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide services and equipment that will allow the blind and visually impaired to maintain their independence and continue living full and active lives. We provide in-home independent living instruction, adaptive aids, adaptive computer training, Braille services, support groups, low-vision equipment and counseling for clients and their families.
