Center-Based Adjustment to Blindness Training - Comprehensive ATB

ATB centers contracted through SSB may have different learning philosophies aligned with various consumer groups, which affect the teaching methodologies they use. Your SSB counselor can help you find the right ATB Training center to best match your individual learning style.

Typically, the training center offers a full-day training program five days a week, though there is some flexibility for those who require part-time or adjusted schedules. Customers may commute to a training center or live in an apartment run by the training center.

Comprehensive ATB is conducted at centers often with a residential component specialized to provide training in one location.

These centers offer comprehensive training programs with a core set of classes offered that may include:

• Braille
• Cooking
• Daily Living Skills
• Industrial arts
• Orientation and Mobility
