Nebraska Consumer Involvement

The Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (NCBVI) works very well with its consumers, keeping them involved in many ways and soliciting input on many aspects of the agency's processes. Consumer involvement is made easier by the fact that this is a relatively small agency. Even so, NCBVI staff actively seek the input of consumers, including those who receive services at the orientation and training center and those whose cases are closed from the VR program. The NCBVI director and staff attend the state and local meetings of both major consumer organizations for the blind. In addition, they conduct focus groups in different areas of the state. The agency is committed to providing information to consumers in alternate formats and regularly emails policy documents and other materials to interested consumers.
