Why We Recommend This Resource
General vocational rehabilitation programs serve people with many types of disabilities, but ICBVI specializes in the employment needs of people who are blind or visually impaired.
This can be especially valuable when someone needs blindness-specific training, assistive technology, orientation and mobility, Braille, or other services as part of achieving an employment goal.
