Consultation Services of the Frankfurt Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired

The Frankfurt Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired provides blind and visually impaired individuals in Hesse with a comprehensive psychosocial and professional counseling service. Trained specialists work together with participants to analyze the individual impacts of visual impairments and develop tailored solution strategies. The focus is on strengthening independence and social participation through needs-based support in the selection and use of talking and tactile aids. The counseling is offered as a grant-funded service and is aimed at private individuals of all ages who seek professional guidance in managing their daily lives and orienting themselves in their environment.

The service is continuously available and allows for low-threshold applications throughout the year. The Frankfurt Foundation cooperates with non-profit partner organizations to ensure sustainable support. In this way, those affected receive not only information on technical solutions but also psychosocial impulses to cope with processes of change. By integrating counseling in the fields of health, social affairs, and work, the initiative supports the promotion of self-determined living and opens up new opportunities for action. The foundation’s professional expertise thus makes a decisive contribution to reducing everyday barriers and realizing individual desires for participation in social life.
