This may include services such as mobility training, transportation, rehabilitation teaching, and other support services outlined in the Rehabilitation Act to help older blind South Carolinians with performing daily tasks and accessing community activities independently. The grant funding and services are intended to enhance independent living opportunities and community participation for this vulnerable population.
