Our program allows students to regain their sense of independence and dignity. It is the only training program within the state of Maryland that deals exclusively with the unique service needs of blind people. The greatest problem faced by people who are blind is not the physical lack of eyesight, but the limiting beliefs that society holds about their abilities.
Society believes that blind people are less fortunate and less capable.
Our graduates are experts at dispelling this misconception. They are successfully re-entering the work force, resuming family responsibilities, going back to school, and living a truly independent lifestyle. Blindness doesn't have to keep anyone from living a happy, productive life. Each step toward independence is one more step towards freedom. Our program provides a caring, supportive environment in which students grow in the belief that it is okay to be blind.
