What started out as the Catholic Guild for All the Blind has transformed into the present-day Carroll Center for the Blind-a leading blindness rehabilitation center that continues to embrace the same principles that we were founded on; respect, independence, dignity and determination to open opportunities and improve the lives of all we touch.
Follow our journey from modest beginnings to one of the most prominent blindness rehabilitation centers in the world. The Carroll Center for the Blind was originally organized in 1936 as the Catholic Guild for All the Blind. The Guild provided financial aid, clothing, organized reading circles, employment-seeking assistance, talking books, recreational activities, and transportation.

Thank you to everybody that participated in our Virtual 5K and Walk for INDEPENDENCE! Together, not only did we reach our financial goal, but we exceeded it, thanks to all your unbelievable hard work, kindness and generosity. Although we did not walk the usual route this year, the reason we all supported and participated was the same; to come together and make a difference in the lives of people with vision loss.
The Carroll Center for the Blind offers a multitude of direct and consultative services for children who are blind or have low vision that attend public or private school. Our education specialists work with your child to ensure that every developmental milestone is met. A variety of special programs are also offered throughout the year to enhance students' school experiences in skill areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum.
