About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Florida Outreach Center for the Blind is to develop and administer programs that will integrate blind and visually-impaired persons into the social, economic, and spiritual lives of their community.
About
Independent living and braille: Students learn how to organize their medications, shop for and cook meals, identify money, label household items, and maintain their home. These skills allow them to accomplish daily tasks and live independently. Students are encouraged to learn braille since studies show that a higher percentage of blind persons are successful with this ability. Braille provides a means of recording information for personal use, labeling documents for easy identification, and marking equipment for unassisted operation.
