Report on South Carolina Commission for the Blind
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
Abstract
The SC Commission for the Blind provides individualized vocational rehabilitation services, independent living services, and prevention-of-blindness services to blind and visually impaired consumers, from children to older persons, leading to competitive employment and social and economic independence. The Commission's vocational rehabilitation department works with clients in developing a career path and obtaining the highest level of self-sufficiency possible. A needs assessment was conducted of the vocational rehabilitation department and the Ellen Beach Mack Rehabilitation Center and included several recommendations for improvements to the department and the center that the commission should continue to work on. The commission should also review ways to hire and retain qualified counselors. In addition, the Business Enterprise Program provides employment opportunities to blind consumers by training and licensing them to operate their own businesses in rest stop vending operations, snack bars, and cafeterias throughout the state.
