Come join us in celebrating our 21st birthday and our annual Open House! For over two decades, we have been helping the blind and visually impaired learn, grow, and reach new milestones!
Take a tour, meet our staff, students, and teachers, and learn all about the many ways we help. Joining us will be representatives from Palm Tran Connection and the Talking Books Library.
Through the skills learned at the center, individuals become more independent, enjoy a better quality of life, and are able to utilize community resources, pursue an education, and choose a career path.
