Blindskills, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Salem, OR, dedicated to serving visually impaired individuals and their families by providing professional resources and support systems in the community. They offer consultation on Braille education, product availability, and special technology, as well as an audiocassette guide for the transition from full sight to limited sight. Blindskills also sponsors a local support group and publishes a quarterly magazine, DIALOGUE, in various formats to enhance coping skills and share experiences of daily living with blindness.
As a nonprofit organization, Blindskills relies on the generosity of individuals and businesses to continue their mission. They organize the annual Eyebowl charity bowl-a-thon, where teams can participate by collecting pledges from family, friends, and businesses to support visually impaired people.
