The Heartland Council of the Blind welcomes you to our website. 

Everyone is welcome, whether blind, visually impaired, or sighted.

We hope you will come back often, as additional information is being added frequently.   

 

The Heartland Council of the Blind (HCB) is a group of blind, visually impaired and sighted people from the Central Oklahoma area who come together to socialize, discuss issues related to visual impairment and advocate for a better life for the blind and visually impaired community in Central Oklahoma.  HCB is a chapter of the Oklahoma Council of the Blind, an affiliate of the American Council of the Blind.

The Council strives to improve the wellbeing of all blind and visually impaired people by serving as a representative national organization of blind people; elevating the social, economic and cultural levels of blind people; improving educational and rehabilitation facilities and opportunities; cooperating with the public and private institutions and organizations concerned with blind services; encouraging and assisting all blind persons to develop their abilities and conducting a public education program to promote greater understanding of blindness and the capabilities of blind people.
