Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired is a statewide nonprofit vision-rehabilitation and resource center. Its programs include individualized training for daily-living and employment goals, orientation and mobility, assistive technology, a low-vision clinic, services for older blind adults, rural outreach, and support in the Mat-Su Valley. Program fit, referral steps, scheduling, and available funding vary; contact the Center for current intake information.

The public facility is at 3903 Taft Drive, Anchorage, AK 99517. Call 907-248-7770, or use the statewide toll-free number 800-770-7517. The official contact page lists weekday visiting hours, but appointments or advance coordination may still be needed for clinic visits, assessments, training, residential participation, or specialized services. The Center is a rehabilitation and training provider, not an emergency eye-care service or general shelter.
