Who We Are
For over 100 years, the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind (PAB) has been dedicated to preventing, preparing for and managing vision loss for Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth.
Founded in 1910, PAB was the first non-profit statewide service provider for the blind and visually impaired in the country. It remains one of only three in the nation today.
PAB is comprised of a network of 28 Member Agencies across the State that serves over 132,000 Pennsylvanians annually. Services include, vision screenings for preschoolers and adults; eye health/eye safety seminars; vocational rehabilitation and job training programs including access technology training; Braille instruction; low vision examinations; in-home specialized services for the blind; orientation and mobility training; escorted transportation; preschool for blind children; summer instructional programs; support groups; adjustment to blindness counseling and much more.
Through hard work and dedication, we are building a stronger more independent blind and visually impaired community, offering new life and experiences to many and hope for the future.
