Hello! My name is Victoria, I have been working with BALANCE for Blind Adults for over a year as an Assistive Technology Apprentice and Pre-Employment Program Assistant. Because of BALANCE, I have been able to experience both personal and professional growth and I have been able to see the impact BALANCE and its employees have on the individuals in the blind and partially sighted community.
BALANCE is more than just an organization; we take a holistic approach. We not only teach clients valuable skills for their independence, such as orientation and mobility, adaptive living skills, and training on assistive technology, but we also emphasize the importance of mental health, self-advocacy, confidence, communication, and transferable skills and knowledge.
Being partially sighted myself and working for BALANCE I have learned a lot more about resources and the blind and partially sighted community and because of BALANCE, I am able to be a better, more knowledgeable employee who is dedicated to providing the best experiences and resources to my clients so they may live a confident and independent life.
Thank you for your contribution, we appreciate you!
