The Blinded Veterans Association is excited to offer a unique opportunity for our ACVREP certified attendees to earn continuing education units. Since the advent of the VA's Blind Rehab Services and the BVA 74 years ago, we collaborated together to devise ground breaking strategies, adaptive solutions, and learning opportunities.
