Housing and Resources
Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Written by TSBVI social worker, Roy Martz, this chapter from "Transition to Adult Life" describes the continuum of housing options, from living with support to living independently. In addition, it discusses eligibility, finances, and appropriate adaptations and modifications. While a number of the resources are specific to Texas, there is a good deal of general information, as well as some national resources. (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)
