Adjusting to and coping with vision loss can be a difficult emotional process. NAB counselors assist individuals adjust to their vision loss, helping them to develop coping, problem-solving and decision- making skills while reducing stress and anxiety.

Communication and Braille training

A 3-4 weeks communication skills program typically covers basic conversational English, reading with prescribed magnifiers and glasses, writing their signature, letters, and envelopes, phone dialing, keyboarding and reading and writing Braille.
Since placement within a corporate organization is the goal, the program also has a component on how to communicate in the workplaces

Hygiene, personal and home management

Basic hygiene habits and personal management techniques are taught through repetition and process. Students are taught to manage their medication, groom themselves, tell time, identify currency, clothes and more.

Center for Visually Impaired with Other Disabilities

This was established in 2001 with the help of Sense International.
It extends center-based training and home-based training.

Deaf and blind children are taught ADL skills, while adults are taught communication skills, Braille, computer and daily living skills.

Post-placement Counseling

This is a very important service that NAB renders to its placed students. A few months of working and living independently exposes them to harsh reality and many of them require remedial counseling to encourage and boost their confidence.
