Empowering Community Independence
The Chicago Lighthouse is the most comprehensive agency serving people who are blind, visually impaired, disabled and Veterans in the United States. Each of our 40 programs and services are designed to help individuals of all ages, races, income levels, and abilities reach the same goal: to live as confidently and independently as possible. 

Our programs include:

•Comprehensive Low Vision Services that provide low vision diagnosis, treatment, counseling, and assistive technology for people of all ages and backgrounds; 
•Employment Services, empowering individuals with disabilities and Veterans to gain the skills they need to support themselves and improve their quality of life; 
•Education that provides children, adolescents, and young adults with vision impairments and often other disabilities reach developmental and social milestones; and
•Advocacy and Independent Living Programs, that enable clients to thrive in an accessible, inclusive community.

In addition, The Lighthouse has developed several Social Enterprise businesses in the areas of Customer Service, Digital Accessibility Consulting, Manufacturing and Shipping that serve the dual purpose of providing our clients with accessible, inclusive jobs and generating revenue to support our clinical and social service programs.
