The Association has been providing Counseling Services to the home bound & newly blind people for their socio- economic rehabilitation and for their smooth integration in the society. Many a times when a person loses his sight suddenly due to an illness or accident he passes through a phase of trauma. At times, some of them try to end their life due to depression. Our counselors visit such clients, try to comfort them by having long talking sessions and try to build up their confidence. They are then slowly made acquainted with Braille reading/writing, Mobility (e.g. walking with the help of folding cane etc.), Currency identification, use of Cell phone with the help of Speech software, Computer training with software like JAWS and NVDA. They are also given information of various government schemes available for them as well as the job vacancies in Public/Private Sectors, for which they can appear for competitive exams. Our role is a catalyst role by which we facilitate our clients to reach to a proper service providing agencies.
