Braille Institute

Our mission is to positively transform the lives of those with vision loss. Founded in 1919, Braille Institute is a leading provider of free educational and rehabilitative services for people who have low vision or who are blind. Braille Institute's programs are designed to help people of all ages who are blind or who experience vision loss to live as independently as possible and experience the joy of a full, satisfying life. We have served the Coachella Valley for over 50 years.
