In-Home Services
From reading to taking medications to moving safely in the home, there are numerous activities that are made more difficult with low vision. MAB’s vision rehabilitation specialists provide functional vision assessments and in-home training in many communities in Massachusetts. Here’s how we can help:
- Conduct a home safety assessment
- Evaluate lighting and eliminate glare
- Teach adaptive reading, writing and record-keeping techniques
- Reduce clutter and modify appliances with tape and markings
- Provide information about vision loss and community resources
- Help with healthcare routines and medication management
- Offer strategies for adaptive diabetes management
- Recommend adaptive aids and magnification devices
Because our funding sources vary in different regions, there are some restrictions on our ability to provide this service, based on geography, age, and severity of vision loss. Please contact a local MAB office and we will help you determine your eligibility for services. Our staff speaks several languages, and interpreters can be arranged if needed.

"I have a large window in my apartment and the glare makes it very difficult to read. But the case manager from MAB showed me how to use special sunglasses to make it easier to read my mail. And she gave me a large print calendar to write all my appointments on—it’s worth its weight in gold."
