About MTBlind.org

MTBlind.org is a dedicated resource for Montana's blind and low-vision population. The project was started by Ed Worrell of OverHere Consulting about eight months ago, but the idea has been in the back of his mind for nearly six years.

Ed envisioned a comprehensive, easy-to-access resource that could connect blind and low-vision Montanans with vital services, organizations, and opportunities to enhance their independence and quality of life.

How It Started

The project truly came to life after a conversation between Ed and Jocelyn DeHaas, the Executive Director of the Montana Association for the Blind.

They quickly realized they shared a similar vision for what MTBlind.org could become.

Ed had the technical expertise to build the website, while Jocelyn had the connections and resources to make it as informative and useful as possible. Together, they made it happen, and today, MTBlind.org stands as a collaborative effort between multiple organizations that serve Montana's blind and low-vision community.
