LAB is a nonprofit based in Shreveport, Louisiana, that has operated for more than 90 years to support Louisianians who are blind or visually impaired through training, services, and employment. Grounded in values of respect for individual abilities, honesty, and integrity, the organization emphasizes focusing on capabilities rather than disabilities and aims for high standards in its training, products, and employment outcomes. LAB employs people who are blind across manufacturing, administrative, training and other roles, aligning opportunities with individual goals. Under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, LAB can secure contracts to provide products and services to the Federal government, supporting steady, long-term employment. It is affiliated with national networks such as NAEPB and NIB and is an Equal Opportunity Employer operating in a drug-free workplace. In March 2024, LAB launched a Low Vision Rehabilitation Center in Shreveport, marking a concrete expansion of its services.
