Savannah Association for the Blind, Incorporated (SAB) is a private, nonprofit agency serving the general public in southeastern Georgia and coastal South Carolina. The mission of Savannah Association for the Blind, Inc. is to provide rehabilitation services designed to help blind and visually impaired individuals in all walks of life function independently in their homes and in the community.

Programs and services include:

• Low Vision examinations conducted by a licensed optometrist who prescribes highly specialized low vision aids to maximize the use of residual vision. As appropriate, practical applications for these low vision aids are incorporated in the training provided in the other components.
• Orientation and Mobility instruction helps each individual learn to travel with others using the sighted guide technique and to travel independently using a white cane.
• Communication Skills enhances independence through braille, audio recorders, large print, typing, computer skills, writing checks, and balancing a checkbook.
• Social Services assures a firm foundation for independent living through individualized counseling, group counseling, family counseling, and self-advocacy training.
• Senior Day Services provide supports for elderly individuals, (and their families, if present), who do not function fully independently, but who do not need 24-hour nursing care.
