The experience of blindness results in different challenges for different people. We assist by helping to learn to navigate life differently on a day-to-day basis in order to continue to live a productive life. Everyone’s challenge is unique, and our mission is to assist each person’s challenge to meet their individual needs.
BAAB offers daily skills classes and records for the National Library Service due to the dedication of volunteers and donors. We are able to work together to make a difference in the lives of the visually impaired here in Brevard County and throughout the State of Florida.
