• BSVI (Bureau of Services for the Visually IMpaired) is what the agency name is if that is what you mean.

• Here is a link, for most states, for the rehab for the blind divisions.

• Did you tell your daughter that no one in their right mind moves from Florida to Ohio!! What part of Ohio? I am located in Columbus and I'm the president of the local FFB chapter here (at least for another month I am :)). Yes, BSVI is our state service. We also have many other resources depending on what she may want/need. Have her send me an email when she arrives. If she is moving farther north, they are trying to restart a chapter in Cleveland I think. If she'll be here by June she can join our VisionWalk and if she will be here by April 19th, she can come to The Buckeye Hall of Fame for our VW kick-off luncheon and meet some of the FFB regional people. Just a few ideas. My email is nchubb@insight.rr.com.
