Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind

BAAB is a non-profit serving the visually impaired in Brevard County, FL. We are available to help you by appointment, so please give us a call or email today.

Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind (BAAB) was founded in 1966. We are a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers and funded by donations. Our recording department currently records 3 magazines for national distribution by the Library of Congress through the talking books library. We also have a Program for Independent Living which is offered 3 times a year to adults with va

rying degrees of vision loss. The goal of this program is to enable our students to stay in their homes as long as possible without having to hire outside help. They learn how to arrange their rooms to get around them easily, how to label and organize, and how to develop their other senses among other things. We also have guest speakers from various agencies including Satellite Beach Fire Dept., Brevard County Sheriff's Office, The Talking Book Library in Cocoa, Space Coast Area Transit, SHINE, and CVI. Countless people have benefitted from both programs over the years.
