Our members and supporters are what make the South East CT Community Center of the Blind a special place for the blind community. We keep you connected with our monthly newsletters, support groups, up-to-date technology, as well as Lunch & Learn programs. Here are a few things we want you to know:

We welcome your ideas and feedback on how best to continue to serve the low-vision community. We continuously research information and ideas to assist you in your daily living skills and keep you informed on new technology. We offer the use of our “adaptive computer lab”, desk-top magnifiers, and access to our retail outlet where you can try before you buy any of our adaptive products.

Please stay in touch by following us on Facebook. Let us know how we can be of service. Check our website often as well.
