The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is exploring the feasibility of creating an app to make the resources available in the Find Services feature on its websites more easily available to eye care professionals, service providers (such as rehabilitation counselors, teachers of visually impaired students, orientation and mobility instructors, etc.), and consumers. The Find Services feature on AFB’s websites is powered by the AFB Directory of Services, a database of over 2000 organizations providing services to blind and visually impaired persons across the United States and Canada.
As a preliminary step, the AFB would like to invite you to take a survey to help us gather information such as the following: • Would you be interested in using an AFB Directory of Services app? • If so, what information from the Directory would you like included in the app? • What additional features would be helpful to you to include in the app? • What other types of information would you like to know about service providers listed in the AFB Directory of Services? • Who in your agency/clinic would use the app?
To take the survey, please go to Directory of Services App Survey.
