Come join us in celebrating our 22nd 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 about the many ways we help.
Joining us will be visitors from the Mayor’s office, County Commissioner, Councilmen, Palm Tran Connection, Talking Books Library and so many more!
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.
