Live: Our “Live” programs are about building a rich, full life with blindness. They’ll connect you with a community of support and help you enhance your daily living skills so you can seize your future with confidence.
Play: Our “Play” programs make having fun easy, whether you’re learning how to paint or hitting the streets on a tandem bike. They’re all about connecting with others and showing people with sight loss can do anything.
Work: Our “Work” programs give you the skills and resources to achieve your career ambitions, and help employers tear down barriers for blind job-seekers and employees.
Learn: Our "Learn" programs foster social development and independence for students who are blind, and teach braille literacy skills to people of all ages.
Tech: Our “Tech” programs open up new worlds of information and accessibility, with access to innovative devices, tools and the training you’ll need to get the most out of them.
