Program aids visually handicapped Judy Curtis
Judy Curtis, legally blind, found work through the Home Industries Program in Phoenix. The program, funded by a three year federal grant since 1975, provides evaluation training and contract work at home for visually impaired workers. Curtis strings tennis rackets for $2.30 per racket, working hours chosen to fit her family schedule. The Phoenix operation employs about 14 and plans expansion with a future product line to stabilize earnings during contract lulls. Curtis hopes to continue with the program and eventually work in a retail outlet.
