Our Services
For more than 80 years, ABVI has empowered adults in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester Counties with the tools they need to live independently with vision loss.
Through our Own Your Life program, ABVI helps adults who are blind or visually impaired learn new approaches to daily life. Skills taught through our Own Your Life classes range from household management tasks to workforce development training like typing, interview preparation and safely using public transportation. Our Own Your Life program offers two tracks:
- Personal Independence
- Vocational Rehabilitation
