CBVI promotes and provides services in the areas of education, employment, independence, and eye health for people who are blind, vision-impaired, and deaf-blind, their families, and the community.

The readopted rule describes the current blindness education services offered by the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, as well as the standards and procedures that govern the delivery of these services.
