ELCs provide adaptive technology to meet the needs of the Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped (CBVH)consumers who are participating in vocational rehabilitation services such as training (including on-site work experiences), education (including GED), or employment (including job search). The adaptive equipment is loaned on a short term basis, free of charge to the CBVH consumer. |
