How KAB can help you

People sometimes think their sight impairment will mean their lives will diminish and they will no longer be able to do the things they once did. This is not true.

With support and guidance people living with sight impairments can continue to live fulfilled, independent lives.

KAB's Rehabilitation Officers play a key role in this process of adaptation. They can:

• listen to your worries and concerns and can draw upon their wealth of experience to offer you reassurance, help and advice
• share with you the experiences of others who have found themselves in a similar situation
• teach you skills and techniques to enable you be independent in the home and outdoors, and provide you with specialist equipment
• offer advice on the benefits available to you
• put you in touch with other useful KAB services, like Kent Talking News, and other organisations, like British Wireless for the Blind
• arrange personal support for you to help with your correspondence, transport, and other day-to-day tasks
• give you the details of clubs, groups and societies in your area where you can meet others and take up new hobbies and activities
