About Us

The Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ACBVI) is the primary nonprofit provider of vision rehabilitation services in Alaska. We deliver a full continuum of rehabilitation, training, and adaptive services to blind and visually impaired Alaskans of every age, from transition-aged youth through our oldest neighbors.

Our reach is statewide. We serve Anchorage, the Mat-Su Borough, rural communities reachable only by air, and the Interior region around Fairbanks. Services are delivered through day programs at our Anchorage facility, residential training for clients who travel from across the state, in-clinic low vision services, home visits, community-based instruction, and remote outreach to rural villages.

Since 1977, our mission has stayed constant: equipping blind and visually impaired Alaskans for success in life and work.
