We at Blindness Support Services are dedicated to teaching those who are blind or have visual impairments to become more independent and adapt to the challenges they have. |
Announcements
Touch Free Environment
On Wednesday, September 23, 2020, BSS began its transition to a Touch Free Office Environment. As we move forward during these challenging times, such efforts are directed in making our training facility as safe as possible.
Special acknowledgments go out to our Contractor Stronghold engineering for helping us make this happen.
