Helping the Blind and Visually Impaired throughout Montana
The Montana Association for the Blind (MAB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1947 to aid in the education, training, and support of individuals who are facing blindness and their families.
The mission of MAB is to promote the social and economic self-sufficiency of blind and low-vision Montanans through the facilitation of quality education, training, community, employment, and adaptive services, in addition to fostering a positive understanding of blindness. We envision a Montana in which blindness is understood to be an ordinary and respectable part of life and in which the skills and tools of blindness are readily available to all who may benefit from them.

We work toward this goal by offering adaptive training programs, outreach and community, scholarships to blind college students, and programs that help individuals obtain the adaptive equipment they need. Our local chapters provide support, information, understanding and a sense of community to visually impaired people across the state, many in remote communities with zero access to blind services or community support. Our cornerstone program is our Summer Orientation Program for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SOP), an intensive independent-living training program that gives adults the skills they need to lead autonomous and satisfying lives after vision loss.
