About us
For more than 90 years, Louisiana Association for the Blind (LAB) has improved the quality of life for Louisianians who are blind or visually impaired by providing training, services, and employment. LAB's core values of respect for individual abilities, honesty, and integrity create an environment that encourages personal growth and independence. At LAB our focus is on a person's capabilities not disabilities. Excellence in all that we do is our goal. Quality is the end result: in products, in training, and in employment opportunities. LAB employs people who are blind in manufacturing, administrative, training and a variety of job positions that match an individual's goals and potential. The Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (JWOD) allows LAB and other agencies employing the blind to secure contracts to provide products and services to the Federal government. The JWOD program helps to ensure steady, long-term employment for people who are blind. LAB is a member of the National Association for Employment of People Who are Blind (NAEPB) and affiliated with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). Additionally, LAB is licensed by the Department of Social Services and recognized by Louisiana Rehabilitation Services as a rehabilitative facility. Louisiana Association for the Blind (LAB) is an Equal Opportunity Employer. LAB does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other classification protected by Federal, state, or local law. LAB is a drug free work place. For more information about LAB, please visit www.lablind.com or call 1(877) 913-6471 or (318) 635-6471
