Testimonials:

“I am highly satisfied with the experience you all gave me today. It really has opened a whole new way for me to think and to be able to help those who are vision impaired. Now I feel like I have some better understanding and really appreciate the work that is being done here.”

I truly appreciate working with you all and your willingness to come present to our students. I think it has been a very meaningful and impactful experience for them.”

“On behalf of the University Circle Police Department, I want to extend our gratitude and appreciation for collaborating with us. The instruction was OUTSTANDING!  I have been a police officer for over 35 years and I learned more in the first twenty minutes about how to serve those who are visually impaired or blind than I did in my entire career. I applaud all of you for the work you do day in and day out to help others in need.  I look forward to further collaborations with you and your wonderful organization.”
