Their responsibilities may include guiding clients, assisting with reading or technology, and ensuring safety in various settings. These assistants often work in schools, workplaces, or private homes, adapting their support to the unique needs of each person.

Visually Impaired Assistants often work closely with orientation and mobility specialists, rehabilitation counselors, and occupational therapists to provide comprehensive support.
