One year ago today the cloudy Vermont skies opened for a brief window-exactly in time for the once in a lifetime total solar eclipse took place. We were amazed on the path of totality! VABVI made the eclipse accessible in locations along the path of totality using Harvard's LightSound Devices.

When Helen Keller toured VT in 1926, she spoke about the negative impact of social isolation; something people with impaired vision know too well. Humans are a social species, and loneliness is detrimental to our well-being. VABVI offers PALS groups: Peer Assisted Learning & Support for connection.
