The award supports the development and delivery of hybrid education and telerehabilitation training programs designed to prepare rehabilitation counselors to serve individuals who are blind or have low vision.

The hybrid and telerehabilitation training components enhance accessibility and flexibility for students pursuing credentials and degrees in vision rehabilitation services. This award represents one of 75 grants awarded nationally under CFDA 84.129 in fiscal year 2025, with recent awards clustering in the $194,000 to $391,000 range, and reflects OSERS's commitment to building workforce capacity in specialized rehabilitation personnel development.
