The Carroll Center for the Blind is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Newton, Massachusetts, founded in 1936. It serves individuals who are blind or visually impaired across all ages and stages of vision loss, helping them gain skills to lead independent, confident lives. The center supports independence at home, in classroom settings, and in the workplace through a blend of new technologies and time-tested adaptive methods, with individualized instruction and personalized therapies developed by its staff. In 2023, The Carroll Center collaborated with the American Board of Internal Medicine to evaluate ABIM.org's compliance with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. This collaboration signals an emphasis on accessible digital services as part of its broader rehabilitation and education work.
