About Us Mission
The Picciano Method™ How
We Differ Validation
Welcome.
The American Center for the Advancement of the Blind, Inc.™, has one objective:
to assist people who are blind achieve a lifestyle that is rightfully theirs
- one that is self-reliant, self-directed and independent. Our program for meeting this objective is called
The Picciano Method™ and it is unlike any other vision loss program
in use today.
The philosophy behind The Picciano Method™ is simple. We believe that with the exception of sight, there is no inherent difference between people who are blind and people who are sighted in their capacity to achieve and excel in all that they do. We believe that people with blindness should be valued, nurtured and given every opportunity to attain personal fulfillment. They should have the opportunity to learn, work and grow to their fullest potential as any other member of society and contribute to their community with full recognition and acceptance.
As
the President and Founder of The American Center for the Advancement of the
Blind, Inc.™, I am pleased to introduce our organization and program to
you and look forward to serving you in the future.
Please contact me with any questions you have about our program, and join our email list for news and updates.
