Make a Referral

If you or someone you know is experiencing vision loss, making a referral to VABVI is the first step toward accessing support. Our referral process is simple, confidential, and designed to help individuals maintain independence and confidence at home and in their communities.

What to Expect

  • Connect with our Intake Coordinator for a quick overview of available services and next steps.
  • A certified instructor will follow up by phone to arrange a home visit and gather directions.
  • We’ll identify your goals, conduct a low vision evaluation, and create a tailored plan of action through a personalized assessment.
  • You’ll receive home visits for as long as you wish, until all support options have been explored.
  • Referrals can be submitted by phone or mail, and may come from doctors, healthcare providers, family members, friends, or individuals themselves.
