Idaho Commission For The Blind And Visually Impaired, Idaho Falls

The organization provides three rehabilitation programs: Vocational Rehabilitation, Independent Living, and Sight Restoration. The Vocational Rehabilitation Program equips individuals with the necessary training to secure or maintain employment. Independent Living targets those without a vocational goal but who face challenges to their independence in various aspects of life, including home and community. Rehabilitation teachers guide participants in essential independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning, self-care, and communication. The Sight Restoration Program addresses a range of medical needs, particularly focusing on preventing blindness and restoring sight for those unable to afford necessary medical care. Additional support includes adaptive technology and low vision aids. For individuals with Medicaid or Medicare, these can cover surgical expenses, and a cost-sharing plan may be established if they can contribute to the costs. Languages offered include English.

Intake Procedure: Personal interview.
