  • Low Vision Montana LVM is a statewide network of individuals and groups of people who have been personally touched by vision loss. Some of our volunteers are rehabilitation professionals, while many more are persons who live with low vision themselves. Living with low vision becomes easier as you learn new ways to overcome obstacles and make the most of your abilities, and people who have already experienced life with visual impairment are a great resource in the process. These persons can lend you their support and offer ideas gained through their own experiences about how to maintain an independent lifestyle.
  • Montana School for the Deaf and Blind (MSDB) MSDB is also a statewide resource center. Information and technical support is provided through our Outreach Program to students attending school in their local districts. Think of MSDB as a "statewide school district", available to serve the needs of deaf and blind children anywhere at any time.
  • Talking Book Marker Ever fall asleep while listening to a cassette book?   Ever have a hard time finding where you were in the book the next morning? The Talking Book Marker plugs into a jack near the headphone jack of your cassette player. The switch is held down while listening to the tape.  As the grip is relaxed when you fall asleep, the switch lets up and the talking book stops, thus marking your place. Check out this innovative product from Jim Daily that can make your Talking Book experience even easier.
