Description:
If you have a visual impairment, the South Dakota Rehabilitation Center for the Blind (SDRC) may be able to help. Staff members are trained to teach skills that help people lead a full productive life--regardless of how much one does or does not see. Upon completion of training, individuals usually return to their community and use these new skills in their home, school or job.

Computer training with assistive technology (including speech and Braille output)
Travel with the use of a white cane
Communication methods including Braille
Home Management (essential tasks of daily independent living that include cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, etc.)
Manual Arts (use of hand and power tools to build confidence in using the skills of blindness)
