Braille Institute offers services to help people with limited or no vision lead independent and enriched lives.

We've been helping people with vision loss since 1919, and all of our programs are free of charge.

Child Development
We offer in-home programs for parents of blind infants and toddlers and help to mainstream blind children (up to age 5) in community preschools.

Youth and Career Services
We help foster self-confidence and independence in children and young adults, ages 6-30. This includes job counseling and referrals.

Counseling and Support Services
Our counselors and support services help advise and assist adults with the adjustment to vision loss.

Classes
We offer adults more than 200 classes in adaptation to sight loss and attaining independence, as well as many recreational subjects.

Options for Low Vision
Our free Low Vision Rehabilitation consultations provide tools for making the most of remaining vision.
