Services for Adults with Developmental Disabilities
At Helen Keller Services for the Blind (HKSB), people with developmental disabilities find the support and resources they need to become more productive and independent in their daily lives.
Promoting Independence in Adults with Developmental Disabilities
With over 125 years of experience serving people who are blind, have low vision or combined vision and hearing loss in the greater New York area, HKSB is uniquely able to understand and help meet the challenges of individuals with developmental disabilities — whether or not they are also blind.
That’s because we know that, regardless of ability, all people deserve to set and achieve their own goals and live with optimal independence and self-determination. Our on-site, residential and in-home services are designed to support adults with developmental disabilities and the people who care for them.

What We Offer
We offer a full range of services for individuals with developmental disabilities. Although the majority of our participants are blind, have vision loss, or are DeafBlind, vision loss is not a requirement for admission.
