Braille material is frequently needed quickly and this in turn means a need for capable transcribers. Recorded material is also in heavy demand, and volunteers are always needed to read material onto tape. Those who transcribe Braille or tape can do the work at home. Employers can contact the Department and arrange for a survey of their business establishments to determine potential employment opportunities for persons who are blind. Members of civic, social, fraternal, or church groups can invite a Department representative to be a program speaker.
Financial contributions are helpful and most appreciated.

Programs serving persons who are blind throughout the nation and in Iowa are always anxious to talk to persons with ability and positive attitudes about blindness who may be considering a career in this field. Interested persons may contact the Iowa Department for the Blind. Return to Home Page.
