Programs and Services
How we can help you achieve your goals
Our certified specialists provide a range of services that help individuals with vision loss lead more independent, active lives.
Client navigation
Our client navigators guide clients through services with our organization and other health care and community services that can help them.
Primary Services
Our Primary Services are the first line of support for our clients. Focusing on functional needs, they target primary, short-term independence goals like using residual vision for daily tasks, reading medication, pouring liquids, and navigating indoors.
Specialized Services
Our Specialized Services are all about achieving big independence goals. Whether someone wants to learn to be fully independent at home, to navigate the world with skill and confidence, or to be an assistive tech whiz, our Specialized Services are here to help them.
Concentrated Programs
Working with provincial governments and other key partners, we're proud to provide a range of Concentrated Programs that are designed to fill gaps in care for some communities across Canada – as well as reduce the overall burden on Canada's health care system.
Crisis Response and Rehabilitation
When someone first experiences vision loss – especially if it happens suddenly – their personal safety can be jeopardized. Basic tasks like preparing meals, climbing stairs, or taking medication can suddenly feel dangerous.
Disability Benefits Navigation
Through VLRC’s GAIN Program, our Disability Benefit Navigators are here to assist you, free of charge. Our priority is to ensure that individuals within the GAIN Program achieve successful outcomes and reduce any barriers to accessing benefits.
