Mission & Value Proposition

At the OCE Braille Program, we produce high-quality braille materials that empower blind and low-vision individuals through accessibility and inclusion. Our mission is to break barriers and create opportunities, advancing accessibility while opening pathways to meaningful careers. By combining technical expertise with rehabilitation, we deliver certified braille transcription services that help further education for the visually impaired community, foster inclusion, and strengthen communities by reducing barriers to reentry.
