Founded in 1920 by William Hadley, an educator who lost his eyesight later in life, Hadley offers practical help, connection and support free of charge to anyone with a visual impairment, their families and professionals supporting them. With Hadley, you can discover new ways to do things that have become more difficult due to vision loss and connect with a network of peers who "get it." And you don't need to come to Hadley. Hadley's help comes to you; online, on the phone or through the mail.
Since relaunching in July 2020, more than 100,000 people have joined the Hadley community and our workshops have 98% satisfaction ratings. Hadley's help reaches all 50 states and more than 100 countries. And more people learn braille from Hadley than from any other organization worldwide.
Hadley works closely with the National Eye Institute and the National Eye Health Education Program as well as many other national and international organizations also serving older adults adjusting to vision loss. If you'd like to make Hadley's help more readily available to your clients/patients/customers, learn more about partnering with us.
Hadley's help conveniently meets members where they are. Free of wait lists. Free of office visits. Free of charge.
A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Hadley relies on contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations to fund its programs.
Our mission: Hadley provides both practical and social/emotional help to older adults adjusting to vision loss, empowering them to adapt and thrive.
