Lighthouse for the Blind Program Alumni

Meet Brandon

Brandon has a progressive eye condition and started participating in Lighthouse programs when he was six. He first participated in the Children’s Program and Summer Camp. Brandon later engaged in the Teen Program, which focused on independent living skills, career exploration, work experiences, and college prep.


Brandon recently graduated from College with a degree in Psychology and referred to the help and services he received from the Lighthouse as a great propeller to his success.


Brandon is an example of one of our clients who transitioned from one program to the next as his needs changed. He knows we are here as a resource for him--every step of the way.


Brandon’s next goal is to attend graduate school to obtain a master’s degree in Psychology.
