Idaho Commission For The Blind And Visually Impaired, Idaho Falls

The organization features three rehabilitation programs: Vocational Rehabilitation, Independent Living, and Sight Restoration. The Vocational Rehabilitation Program equips individuals with the training needed to secure or maintain employment. Independent Living caters to those without specific vocational goals but who face challenges to their independence at home, with family, or in the community. Rehabilitation teachers provide instruction on essential independent living skills, including cooking, cleaning, self-care, and communication. The Sight Restoration Program addresses diverse medical needs, particularly focusing on preventing blindness and restoring sight for those who lack the financial means for necessary medical care. Additional support includes adaptive technology and low vision aids. For individuals with Medicaid or Medicare, these can cover surgical costs, or a cost-sharing plan may be established if they can contribute. Languages offered include English. Intake requires a personal interview.
