Smith-Kettlewell’s Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Low Vision and Blindness

Dr. John Brabyn is the Institute’s Executive Director and the Director of our Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center. Dr. Brabyn will provide a history of the RERC program, its main funding agency, highlights of past and recent achievements, as well as a summary of present projects. The federal government’s National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research funds 16 Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers across the country and each one has its own focus area; it should be noted that Smith-Kettlewell is the only one devoted to Low Vision and Blindness.
