Rehabilitation Measures (Training and Education) of the Frankfurt Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired

The Frankfurt Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired continuously provides individual and group-based rehabilitation services in Hesse, specifically aimed at promoting independence and social participation. Blind and visually impaired individuals residing in Frankfurt am Main acquire new skills through training and further education in areas such as orientation & mobility, IT and Braille instruction, as well as low-vision counseling. The grants support not only professional reintegration and career reorientation but also strengthen participants’ self-confidence and social networking. For refugees with visual impairments, the program offers special integration courses to reduce linguistic and technical barriers and to provide access to barrier-free communication options.

With a focus on individualized training plans, the foundation promotes the transition into the labor market and makes a significant contribution to inclusive participation in social life. The measure is aimed at all those who wish to reorganize their daily lives and establish themselves professionally due to blindness or visual impairment. A prerequisite, in addition to the diagnosed visual impairment, is residency in Frankfurt am Main. Through continuous support and collaboration with experienced experts, an environment is created that opens up long-term prospects and fosters sustainable change. Interested parties can find detailed information on the Frankfurt Foundation’s website and may inquire at any time about individual funding opportunities.
