BLUEGRASS COUNCIL OF THE BLIND, INC.

The Bluegrass Council of the Blind (BCB) is the only nonprofit exclusively serving the needs of adults who are blind or visually impaired in Central Kentucky. BCB services are free of charge to clients and available to any clients affected by vision loss, including family, friends and professionals working with people with low to no vision. Our primary service area includes Fayette and surrounding counties, including Anderson, Bourbon, Clark, Jessamine, Madison, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford, however, due to a lack of available services in other KY counties, we do provide information and services to persons in other counties, upon request and as we have resources available.

We do this through our two main programs: Peer Support and Assistive Technology and Training.

Some of the services provided through these two programs include:

1. Support group meetings
2. Peer group mentoring
3. Demonstrations and hands-on trials of technology items and devices
4. Group and individual training on assistive technology such as accessibility features on smart phones and tablets
5. Educational seminars
6. Community outings
7. A technology lending / distribution program

Our programs are available to any person residing in Kentucky, regardless of socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orien- tation, age, religion, physical ability or language.
