Welcome to the Joplin Association for the Blind (JAB)

About Joplin Association for the Blind

Our mission is to help meet the changing needs of individuals with low vision or blindness, by addressing their needs from a physical, medical, social, and emotional approach.

The primary service area for the Joplin Association for the Blind and Low Vision Resource Center is a 100 mile radius of Joplin, Missouri. We serve the four state areas of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. The majority of our clients are from Jasper and Newton counties, but we have had a 50% increase in client referrals from the adjoining counties and states in the past year. Recently, we expanded our facility to provide added low vision and services for our patients and added room for our children and youth activities
