Welcome! We’re glad you found us!

Hello, I’m Bob Scheffel, MAB President. We are hopeful that our new website will better serve you---our clients, customers and the general public. You will find expanded content, a new design, and improved accessibility and ease of navigation. If you have suggestions for further improvements, please let us know.

Since 1934, MAB has assisted thousands of Charlotte-area residents who have resolved the challenges of vision loss. Today, MAB continues to be the source of much needed support and services for those who must learn to live with blindness. MAB's clients learn new skills and alternative ways of accomplishing everyday tasks, thereby increasing independence and reducing the isolation that can result from blindness.

In conjunction with client services, MAB also serves an important national need for braille, large print and audio document transcription for schools, banks, utility companies and other businesses who are meeting their customers' needs for accessible materials.

Please review the Accessible Braille Services for more information.
