Client Certification

When you request the loan of a radio receiver from Taping For The Blind, Inc., you must agree to return it when you no longer have a need for it or if you intend to move out of our broadcast area.

How it Works

We require that you have official certification from a health care or other appropriate professional that you qualify for our services based on an inability to read standard print because of any of a variety of visual, physical and/or perceptual disabilities.

After you complete and submit the electronic form below, print the completed form, take it to your professional certifier for a signature and send it to us in the mail.
