For Family and Friends

If you are a friend or family member of a person with vision loss, welcome! Thank you for involving us in your process of exploring careers. If you're new to this section, tour the site using our parent's navigation guide. And if you're wondering what the future holds, be sure to look closely at career options. You also have the opportunity of searching out mentors (successfully employed adults with vision loss) who can give specific career guidance and insight.
