Is there an employee at your workplace who is losing their sight or is legally blind?
NYSCB's Vocational Rehabilitation Program can provide them with technical assistance to adapt to their new impairment without sacrificing their career. NYSCB counselors work with employees and employers to obtain the appropriate adaptive equipment, mobility training, or reader services that can assist blind employees in retaining their position and performing job duties efficiently.
