At ABVI, we believe that even though everyone experiences vision loss differently, an individual can be self-sufficient and contribute to his or her family and community after a diagnosis of significant visual impairment or blindness.
We work to make this belief a reality for the people we serve in two ways:
-
Our vision rehabilitation services are designed from a person-centered approach to assist people in adapting everyday activities.
-
We provide the opportunity through training and skill development to engage in meaningful work.
