Actually there are many, many services for the blind. Contact the National Federation for the Blind or your regional Lighthouse for the Blind office to get started.

You did not get what I was trying to relay. I know about all these organizations, etc. Being brain injured throws a huge curve. Your short term memory is shot to hell and back. Your long term memory is not lost but the short term is not there. How do you get him to remember what you just taught him? People do not like to deal with being blind and brain injured, and the people who specialize in brain injury do not like dealing with a brain injured blind person.
I know, we have been to hell and back. I have learned to be aggressive and demanding.
There are a lot of organizations, but they specialize, they are not set up to deal with multiplicity. My grandson-in-law was injured in Iraq, brain too. The army gives him a PDA to write down what he has done, and what his schedule is, no short term memory. He was injured in fall 2006, grandson was injured spring 2007. We are experienced the hard way in brain injury.
