WEF is on the leading edge of providing solutions for those faced with rehabilitative therapy to those who suffer with low vision with our Occupational Therapist in collaboration with certified aging-in-place (home modifications) professionals (CAPS). We understand the many challenges facing individuals who are vision impaired-obstacles that are admirably overcome every day.
About wef

WEF has developed methods for the evaluation of accessibility, performance of daily activities and the whole well-being of our clients. We are committed to improving results and outcomes for people with low vision impairments, so that they may lead full and independent lives.

We are the first non-profit organization in the United States to combine occupational therapy with universal designs for low vision as well as people of all ages with all disabilities.. We are creating living environments that maximize independent daily living activities, providing our clients with the ability to function comfortably and independently in their own homes and avoid the need to move to special institutional facilities.

In the year ahead, the Wendy Elliott Foundation's focus will be on the careful allocation of resources and the implementation of innovative programs to provide a full range of accessibility assessments in residential homes and in public places.
