The mission of DeafBlind Services Minnesota is to advance the independence of children and adults with combined hearing and vision loss.

"The expectation of 'independence' in our society is wrong. We, by our very nature as human beings, are interdependent. What we should strive for is a good and fair balance of interdependence; at times needing more support, at times giving that support to others. No one is truly independent unless they are living under a rock in the desert."
