ABOUT NJFFB:
NJ Foundation for the Blind (NJFFB) is committed to helping adults who
are blind or visually impaired lead independent and productive lives
through comprehensive instruction in Orientation & Mobility, Assistive
Technologies, Activities of Daily Living, and Individual & Family Support
and Advocacy. Electives such as art therapy, pottery, horticulture and yoga
build the sensory and tactile skills which speed rehabilitation.
NJFFB is the only comprehensive vision rehabilitation day program for adults in Northern New Jersey.
Students represent a diverse population who have been impacted by recent vision loss. 80% of
students are over 50, and an estimated 25% have additional significant disabilities.
It is a unique program that focuses on small group experiential learning rather than the
traditional home instruction which further isolates the individual.
NJFFB utilizes a sliding fee scale and a liberal scholarship program to make the program
affordable. Daily transportation is provided where possible. NJFFB is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit
organization registered in the State of New Jersey. It is not a government agency nor is it
affiliated with any other organization. It is supported entirely by contributions. To fund
this critically-needed program, NJFFB encourages annual gifts, bequests and planned gifts,
corporate sponsorships, grants, as well as continued support from the NJ Lions Clubs.
NJFFB has taken on the challenge of restoring quality of life to those suffering vision
loss and preparing them for re-entry into their communities. We appreciate your interest and support.
