Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired

About This Association

With a rich history, the Association was formed in 1984 as the result of a consolidation between the American Association of Workers for the Blind and the Association for Education of the Visually Handicapped. The AER Bylaws and Policies and Procedures Manual detail AER’s purpose, structure, and procedures. The AER Board of Directors approved an AER Code of Ethics in 2015, which is part of the Policies and Procedures Manual. The Association uses a number of standing committees and ad hoc committees to design and carry out its many programs and services. Resolutions passed by the association’s membership provide insight into where the association stands on specific issues. AER is committed to serving our members, affiliated chapters, and divisions through effective strategic planning conducted at all levels within the organization. AER’s Strategic Plan guides the association into the future and is periodically updated to ensure we are meeting the members’ and association’s needs.
