Blindness-Learning in New Dimensions Inc

BLIND, Inc. was founded by blind Minnesotans who believe that, given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can lead normal, independent, and fulfilled lives. We believe that blindness is respectable and that with proper training, the average blind person can succeed in his or her chosen field and personal endeavors. We are affiliated with the National Federation of the Blind, which believes that blind people are seeking the same goals as all Americans: independence, self-sufficiency, and satisfying and gainful employment. Blind, Inc. offers orientation-to-blindness training programs with a positive consumer-oriented approach. We have based our programs on a wellness model. We assume that a person, blind or sighted, has dignity and is capable of making competent decisions. We encourage our students to believe in themselves and in their ability to live meaningful and productive lives.
