About Blindconnect

Blindconnect, a Southern Nevada nonprofit established in 1998, has a mission to enhance opportunities for Nevadans affected by vision loss. Blindness is frightening. It is isolating. It is life-altering. But, the visually impaired don't have to face those challenges alone.

Angela’s House is Nevada’s only facility designed specifically to offer life skills training, resources, and peer support for participants — all in one location at the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. Angela’s House is the heart of Blindconnect. Here, visually impaired will find a safe place to unite for strength, support and invaluable training and information on living with vision loss.

Betty’s Village is an inclusive residential housing community for people of diverse abilities. It is owned by Opportunity Village, a not-for-profit organization that serves locals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Las Vegas. In partnership with Betty’s Village and Opportunity Village, Blindconnect has opened Nevada’s only residential blindness skills training program.

Individuals facing vision loss can learn to regain independence and confidence by learning life skills at Blindconnects’ Residential Training Program. All of our training programs include independent living skills, cooking, braille, mobility, assistive technology and peer support groups.
