Our Commitment to Welcoming, Inclusive and Collaborative Services
VisionLink is dedicated to assisting adults who are living with vision loss to achieve greater independence through excellence in education and wrap-around support services that advance necessary skills, establish meaningful community connections, and enable those served to live their lives to the fullest.
VisionLink is fully committed to providing our services in a manner that is open and welcoming to all. We embrace the multi-faceted community that we work with and serve, and remain committed to best practices for providing anyone, anywhere on the vision loss continuum with the education, tools, and wrap-around services that they need to navigate their communities, manage their specific visual challenges, and live their fullest lives.
At VisionLink, we value and prioritize collaboration. We work in unison with those we serve, with our professional staff, with healthcare professionals, with community partner organizations, and with other human services agencies regionally and nationally. We believe that this framework across disciplines and communities, as well as our commitment to serving those with vision loss allows our organizational efforts to reach all communities and be more sustainable over time.
