The ABC offers assistance by providing information and referral, advocacy, and other supports to maximize and increase options and opportunities for all blind and or legally blind persons. The ABC also offers seminars to address issues with an impact on persons who are blind/or legally blind. Concerns related to civil rights in employment, education, and other matters are also addressed. The organization advocates for legislation which effects persons who are blind/legally blind, as well as assisting its members in getting the most out of agencies and organizations to provide appropriate and meaningful services to individuals in the blind community. ABC offers publications, informative meetings, a special radio show, In Focus, as well as education, employment, recreational, and cultural opportunities to promote full inclusion in society.
In addition, and in keeping with the blindness culture, the ABC provides social and recreational opportunities by organizing excursions to events which are accessible and meaningful to individuals who are blind or legally blind.
