There are social workers available for adults who are blind. These social workers are the primary case managers and service coordinators for clients of the Bureau of Education and Services for the Blind (BESB) Adult Services Program.
In the capacity as a case manager, Social Workers perform the following tasks:
- Establishing an independent living plan of service with the client, and making adjustments to that plan as needed
- Referring the client for independent living services provided by BESB or outside agencies or organizations
- Case Closure: determining whether or not plan goals have been achieved and the client’s case can be closed
