Talent isn't defined by disability.

Every day at The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc., employees who are blind, DeafBlind, and blind with other disabilities contribute their expertise across manufacturing, technology, administration, customer service, leadership, and more.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month gives us an opportunity to celebrate those contributions—but it also asks employers everywhere to think about what's possible when workplaces are designed to include more people.

Accessibility doesn't lower expectations. It helps remove barriers so people can bring their skills, experience, and talent to the job.

That's something worth celebrating during , and practicing all year long.

What is a functional vision assessment—and how can it help someone with low vision maintain their independence?

In our latest video, Dr. Jennifer Crown, optometrist and low vision specialist at The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc., explains how a functional vision assessment goes beyond the traditional eye chart to look at how someone uses their remaining vision in everyday life.

From reading and cooking to managing medications, navigating the home, using technology, and enjoying hobbies, the right tools and strategies can make a meaningful difference.

And you don't have to wait until vision loss becomes severe to seek help.

🎥 Watch the video to learn how functional vision assessments and Low Vision Services at the Lighthouse can help people continue doing the things that matter to them.
