LOFOB mainly serves blind and partially sighted people throughout the Western Cape. This service is also available to people from other parts of South Africa who are unable to access such services in their regions.
The adult independence-training programme is offered at the LOFOB Training Centre in Grassy Park on the Cape Flats. Clients who have been assessed by occupational therapists receive training at the centre. Regular rural outreach programs are conducted in the Western Cape to reach and provide services to those living further out of the Cape Metropole. The rural outreach programme extends as far as Beaufort West and Knysna. Our West Coast rural outreach programme extends as far as Lutzville, which is approximately 400km from Cape Town.
The Early Childhood Development Programme is based at the LOFOB centre. Children are collected from across the Metropole and transported to the Pre-school centre at LOFOB Monday to Friday. A home program is offered to children who are unable or not ready to attend the program at the Centre.
