Our first highlight apps are for individuals who are visually impaired or blind.

WORK WITHOUT FEAR

Ask Your VR Counselor about receiving a Benefits Information Network (BIN) Profile. You can work without fear. Know what may or may not happen if you go to work. It is no longer true that individuals automatically lose their benefits if they go to work. Get the details and learn how you can step out of poverty and into the workforce without fear.

Website Use and Guidelines

Congratulations!

Congratulations to J.C. of Mooresville!

She has completed the training program from Votech Rehab and is now working with a job coach to find full-time employment.

Low-Tech = Low Cost

Assistive technology is not always high-tech, nor is it always expensive. There are great low-tech items available at no or low cost, to help you accomplish everyday tasks.

Look around your home, or take a trip to your local hardware store. Use your imagination, or the imagination of those around you to come up with simple solutions to common accessibility barriers.
