The Westmoreland County Blind Association provides Pre-Vocational and Adult Training Facility Programs to individuals with intellectual disabilities. The Programs operate Monday thru Friday (8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.). This is to inform you that we are seeking individuals for both of these Programs.

🔴 Companion & In-Home Habilitation:

This is to inform all of the WCSI SC’s and Staff that the Westmoreland County Blind Association provides Companion and In-Home Habilitation services to eligible individuals.

The intent of this message is to inform you that WCBA will hire Family Members, Caregivers, etc. to provide such service. We have done this on many occasions and having someone provide this service from someone familiar with the individual has worked out quite well.

☎️ If you have someone that could partake in this, please contact Lisa Loughner or Tim Miller at 724-837-1250 or lloughner@wcbainpa.org or tmiller@wcbainpa.org
