ITR’s 40-Year Legacy of Transformation

Join hosts Qualik Ford and Derique Simon for Episode 22 of Beyond Sight: A BISM Podcast, ITR’s 40-Year Legacy of Transformation. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of BISM’s Independence Training and Rehabilitation (ITR) programs, we invited several key figures throughout its history to reflect on the program’s evolution. One recurring theme that kept coming up: how ITR creates opportunities and empowers those who are living with blindness.
