Welcome to the New Hampshire Association for the Blind

The New Hampshire Association for the Blind was founded in 1912 by Emma Coolidge Weston of Hancock, NH. For more than 98 years our mission has been to “advance the independence of persons who are blind and visually impaired.” The Association offers a complete range of specialized, professional vision rehabilitation services to help people with low vision or no vision live full, independent lives.

We work closely with numerous referral sources including eye doctors, state agencies and community human services providers. Most commonly, referrals come from eye doctors, individuals and family members of those experiencing vision loss.

The Association is fully accredited by the National Accreditation Council for Agencies Serving the Blind and Visually Impaired. Our current tenure of accreditation extends through June of 2013.
