 Overview: Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB)
Overview: Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB). The mission of the Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) is to provide opportunity to individuals who are blind or visually impaired to achieve employability and/or function independently in society. The MCB vision statement is that someday it will be said that Michigan is a great place for blind people to live, learn, work, raise a family, and enjoy life because: 1) An excellent array of rehabilitation and education services are fully accessible to blind people, 2) Blind people in Michigan believe in themselves and their capacity to achieve excellence, 3) The state's general population believes in the abilities of blind people and understands what blindness is and what it is not, and 4) Michigan employers understand, believe in, and hire people who are blind. Read more information about MCB on this website or call 1-800-292-4200 (voice) or 1-888-864-1212 (TTY), both toll-free in Michigan.
