REHABILITATION SERVICES

 

The services provided by NCBVI include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Training in non-visual (or "low vision") skills that allow full participation in life
• Assistance in securing or maintaining employment
• Fulfill employment needs in Nebraska
• Career counseling and guidance resulting in employment
• Job-related equipment, tools, and supplies
• Educational assistance such as tuition, books, equipment and readers
• Peer support and counseling
• Consultation services for agencies and community organizations which come into contact with blind persons

Individuals are eligible to receive services if they have a visual condition which may lead to blindness, or if their sight is "so defective as to seriously limit their ability to engage in the ordinary vocations and activities of life." This typically means persons who experience difficulties in visually pursuing day-to-day activities and obtaining or maintaining employment.
