World Services for the Blind began in 1939 as a program to train and employ persons who are blind to operate vending stands in government buildings. In 1946, the Lions Clubs of Arkansas provided funds to allow the facility to expand services and become a comprehensive rehabilitation center, and in 1947 the fi rst client was admitted for training. Since that time, more than 9,300 people from all 50 states and 58 other countries have come to Little Rock for training.
WSB has become the worlds largest, most comprehensive rehabilitation center of its kind, and it’s programs have beenemulated throughout the world.
Presentations for your club about the services offered at World Services for the Blind can be arranged by contacting WSB.
