With nearly 200 employees, Envision Dallas serves 150,000 blind and visually impaired people in 11 North Texas counties. Currently a $37 million operation, this is a rapidly growing organization. Envision assists the blind and visually impaired population by providing employment, outreach, rehabilitation, education and research. It was founded in 1933 as the Wichita Workshop and Training School for the Adult Blind. The facility taught blind people how to make and sell products.
