One
thing quite often missed by those who are newly blind or visually
impaired is the unusual number of OPPORTUNITIES AND ASSETS
available to those who are disabled citizens of our country.
Other than public domain entitlements, there are countless
local, regional and national opportunities for persons with
disabilities, such as grants, travel discounts and programs,
scholarships, and reduced or discounted rates in a variety
of activities and programs. Other options such as private
agency low income housing may also match the need of a visually
impaired citizen. Such things add up if utilized and are often
overlooked. The list below only scratches the surface of the
huge number of financial, material and public domain opportunities
for persons who are vision impaired. Think about your needs
and research the opportunities available to persons with disabilities;
then go out and find some!
