Advocacy

We serve as advocates for the rights and needs of individuals with visual impairments and disabilities, working to promote accessibility, inclusion, and equality. We assist individuals and their families in navigating the educational and employment systems to ensure they receive appropriate accommodations and support. Our advocacy efforts extend to raising public awareness and working with policymakers to create more inclusive communities.
