The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded a $472,135 Formula Grant under the Rehabilitation Services Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who are Blind (CFDA 84.177) program to the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS). This grant supports the provision of independent living services for older individuals experiencing blindness or visual impairment in the state of Alabama. The services funded through this award may include vocational assessments, career counseling, job training, assistive technology support, and other independent living assistance tailored to the specific needs of visually impaired older adults. ADRS, the designated state vocational rehabilitation agency, will leverage this funding to develop and expand these critical independent living services, potentially sub-awarding portions of the grant to local non-profit organizations and specialized disability support providers to facilitate comprehensive service delivery across the state.
