The Cleveland Sight Center (CSC) is a non-profit organization that provides services to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Founded in 1906, it is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and serves around 10,000 clients annually in Northeast Ohio. The organization also has radio-reading and community outreach programs that benefit a larger number of individuals.
CSC offers a variety of services, including educational and rehabilitative services, social and recreational activities, and a summer camp program at Highbrook Lodge. They also have a Low Vision Clinic and Eyedea Shop. The staff includes over 100 professionals, including social workers, optometrists, vision rehabilitation therapists, orientation and mobility instructors, occupational therapists, educators, and nurses, who work to help clients achieve independence. Services and activities are tailored to different age groups but many overlap, enabling clients to gain independence in all areas of their life.[2][3]
