Individuals who are blind, have low vision or are DeafBlind have demonstrated resilience and the ability to adjust, persevering through each new obstacle that comes their way during the pandemic. This past year, we've witnessed progress towards greater accessibility and inclusivity through virtual and in-person services. Accessibility has become a foundational value of HKS and a priority of our organization. We strive to ensure our products, services and facilities are usable by as many people as possible, including children and adults with disabilities.

With equal access, people who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind can unlock their inner Ability.
Watch nowMake a Gift. Make a Difference.
Your gift to Helen Keller Services makes it possible for us to give people who have low vision, are blind or DeafBlind access to the training, technology and support that can help them to live their best lives.
At Helen Keller Services for the Blind and the Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Youths and Adults, we create individualized training programs tailored to the unique needs and goals of each person. Our clients and students work one-on-one with experts in the rehabilitation field to develop skills and strategies that will help them in every area of their daily lives—from managing their homes to traveling safely to succeeding on the job to communicating with loved ones. Our mission is to give them the tools to live, work and thrive in the communities of their choice. And you can be a part of that.
The work we do at Helen Keller Services not only helps the individuals we work with, but makes a positive impact on families, businesses and the community as a whole. Below are some of the amazing and inspiring stories that came from students who benefitted greatly from the services they received from Helen Keller Services.
