Eligibility

To be eligible for free services and programs, you must meet the eligibility criteria from the Division of Blind Services:

“An adult must have a visual impairment in both eyes and require services to improve or maintain their independence in their home and community, OR to obtain, maintain, or retain an employment outcome.”

For children, the eligibility criteria are:

“The child must have the presence of a bilateral visual impairment which, with the best correction for that individual, constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to the child’s ability to learn, function independently, or to become employed; and a reasonable expectation that services may benefit the child and family in terms of education, independence, and transition.”
