Our services are available to adults who are legally blind or visually impaired as well as those who have a degenerative eye condition which may eventually become a visual impairment. These services are offered separately or concurrently according to the individual needs of the qualifying client. The www.atarizona.com website for the project is developed and maintained by ACBVI Inc.
One-Stop Training Project:
Trainings are designed to orient staff to disability etiquette and target issues such as basic accommodations and access to resources in local One-Stop Service Centers and Resource Rooms. Access to goods and services may involve products such as screen readers for persons who are blind, screen magnification for persons with vision impairments, CCTV's to access to print materials, and the practical use of TTY telephones for persons who are hearing or speech impaired. One-Stop Centers and Resource Rooms are in varying phases of providing these services, also featured on this website. Location and contact information, training documents, links, photo galleries and resource inventories are all accessible within this website.
The AT Trainers at ACBVI work closely with supervisors and disability advocates for One-Stop Centers and Resource Rooms in scheduling and conducting trainings in these locations. Participants in such trainings include: VR staff, vocational and job trainers, job coaches, job developers and local center staff and partner agency staff. Trainings encourage participation and community outreach to the schools, advocacy groups, employers, and individuals in the community.
