BLIND, Incorporated was founded in 1986 by blind Minnesotans who believed that, given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can lead normal, independent, and fulfilled lives.

BLIND, Inc. is affiliated with the National Federation of the Blind, which believes blind people are seeking the same goals as all Americans: independence, self-sufficiency and satisfying and gainful employment.

BLIND, Incorporated offers the following training programs for adults, children, teenagers, and seniors:

• The Comprehensive Program is geared toward adults who want to gain the skills and confidence they need to continue in their present line of work, continue their education, or begin a new career. 
• Life 101 allows teenagers to learn the skills they need to keep up with their peers and prepares them to attend college or join the workforce. 
• The Buddy Program teaches children ages 9 to 13 that being blind is OK and they can have as much fun as anybody else. 
• The Senior Program allows people who lose their sight later in life to learn practical techniques for dealing with their sight loss and network with other seniors who are also losing vision.
