Welcome to the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (NCBVI), the state vocational rehabilitation agency for the blind. We work to help blind and visually impaired Nebraskans achieve full and rewarding lives.

 

NCBVI provides the training, counseling, and resources needed for a positive understanding of blindness and to have high expectations in all aspects of life. Our website provides information about the Commission and also about blindness in general: to blind individuals, their families, businesses seeking job candidates, and anyone interested in expanding their horizons.

Our Mission:

  • Empowering Blind Individuals,
  • Promoting Opportunities, and
  • Building Belief in the Blind.

Message from the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired Board of Commissioners:

We, blind consumers, worked to establish a separate agency for the blind in Nebraska; and only we can assure that it continues. It is, therefore, crucial that consumers participate in Board meetings and give both Commissioners and the Executive Director ideas and feedback. Interested people being involved will keep Nebraska's service system vibrant.

We hope you will feel free to contact us at any time at commission-board@ncbvi.ne.gov.

You can request services for yourself or someone else request services, or call us toll free at 877-809-2419.
