Your Resource for Vision Rehabilitation Services

Vision Loss

Losing your eyesight is one of the most frightening and emotionally devastating things that can happen to us. But a diagnosis of low vision or legal blindness doesn’t have to be the end of the road. It’s just a new beginning of seeing and doing things differently. With Vision Rehabilitation Services, you can learn new techniques and strategies to live a vibrant independent life.

Services

You can break a hip or have a heart attack and rehabilitation is offered; but if you lose your vision, insurance does NOT cover vision rehabilitation! That’s just crazy

So we offer various vision rehabilitation services to assist individuals, of all ages, who are blind or visually impaired so they may function independently in all of their environments.

Our certified instructors build a custom plan of training and skills based on the needs of each individual client. This plan may include:

Conducted by an optometrist trained in the field of low vision. Review medical/vision history, evaluate functionality of vision, and determine the need for tools and any other services.

To live and work as independently as possible, Vision Rehabilitation Therapists help identify your instructional needs and provide training in the various tools and strategies. 

Evaluate your daily travel needs and challenges. Explore tools and strategies to meet those daily needs.

Allows those with vision loss to be productive and efficient by using the most current technologies.

Identify potential work opportunities, to explore various tools and strategies needed for the job, while helping to learn how to discuss one’s vision impairment with a potential employer.

Helps you and your loved ones cope with vision loss challenges. Develop new tools and techniques so that you are feeling more in control.

Our guidance, rehabilitation, and career services help young adults (age 14-24) successfully transition FROM home and high school TO the next phase of their lives in College or Work.
