Educational Center for the
Visually Impaired launches a new location in Lincoln
[March 16, 2025]
The Educational Center for the Visually Impaired (ECVI)
is proud to announce the launch of its new location at the Oasis
Senior Center in Lincoln, Illinois. We are expanding vital programs
and services for people who are blind or visually impaired across
Central Illinois.
ECVI has been a beacon of support for the visually impaired since
2014. We recognize the need to bring our services closer to people
in Logan County who struggle to see the world they live in. We take
their perceptions of what seems impossible and make them possible.
We offer free personalized basic education and training such as
IPhone training when the person cannot see the screen to stay
connected to family and friends; white cane training so that the
person can walk safely in familiar and unfamiliar environments to
navigate curbs and stairs; daily living skills that make it easier
for the person to cook with confidence and maintain their health and
wellness. All of our services are designed so that people can still
be independent even though they are frustrated and cannot do what
they used to do with the loss of some or all of their eyesight.

Because we do not charge for our
services, we depend on the Lincoln community to support our
efforts. Can you imagine how frightening and frustrating it can
be when you cannot see to drive or read anything clearly? We are
asking for your financial support to bring our services to the
Lincoln community.
