Watch how blind and visually impaired people are building independence with Austin Lighthouse for the Blind.
Being at the Austin Lighthouse has allowed me to support and guide our employees to capture their dreams and enhance skills. Never say never; it can be done just in a different way.
My aunt used to live in Houston and work for a Lighthouse there. She was born without sight and went to the Mississippi School for the Deaf and Blind. I appreciate all that your company does.
