Helping people challenged by disabilities, vision loss, and aging to live vital lives. Our clients receive coaching, training and assistive technology.

We help children, teens and adults challenged by disabilities, vision loss and aging live confident, independent lives. With our collaborative approach, we help them master the skills they need to thrive at home, at work, at school and in their communities. They and their families and caregivers gain confidence and hope.

For more information call (218) 624-4828. We are happy discuss how Lighthouse staff can help!

The budding field is turning dreams into reality for older adults who are eager to age in place, filling caregiving gaps and easing minds as America ages rapidly.
