Among the services offered are peer counseling; referral to appropriate agencies or programs to assist individuals in their adjustment to blindness; educational and social activities; advocacy services for the blind; a speakers' bureau to promote the potential of blind/vi adults within the community. BGCB offers demonstrations of many aids, appliances, and software specific to the needs of blind/vi adults. Catalogs and brochures describing aids and devices that can be purchased directly from the supplier are available from BGCB. The Council publishes a quarterly newsletter in large print, on cassette tape, or via email to all who request inclusion on our mailing list. This newsletter makes interested persons aware of the various activities of the Council; current legislative actions affecting the blind; and other items of interest and activities within the community. All services offered by the Council are free of charge. The Blue Grass Council of the Blind seeks to promote awareness of the abilities, rights, and specific needs of blind/visually impaired people. We encourage and motivate blind/vi individuals to become productive, involved citizens of their community. Another challenge is to educate the public about the needs, aspirations and achievements of the visually impaired. |
