Blind

Blindness: Learning In New Dimensions (BLIND), Inc. is a nationally-renowned training center for blind individuals of all ages. The company were founded in 1986 by the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota because of the failure of traditional, charity-based blindness agencies to meet the real needs of the state's blind residents. The compa... ny has grown rapidly since that time. The company offers vocational rehabilitation programs for blind adults, an English Language program for blind immigrants and refugees, training and employment programs for blind teens, a summer training program for blind children, an independent living skills training program for blind senior citizens, blindness immersion programs for professionals working with blind people, and public education programs about blindness. The company's principles are simple but powerful: blindness is just the physical loss of eyesight, nothing more. Blind people are like everyone else, and can be expected to perform on a par with everyone else, as long as they get effective training - the kind the company offers - and public understanding and acceptance. The company's graduates work in every conceivable form of employment.Read More
