I can't pass the vision test to drive but I'm not blind enough for disability. Where can I get help?

The DriveAble Foundation was built for exactly this situation. Millions of people have vision too limited to safely drive but better than the 20/200 threshold for federal disability services. The foundation helps with transportation, assistive technology, funding, and navigating the systems that overlook you.

My vision keeps getting worse. What should I do?

Reach out to the foundation and tell us what is going on. Progressive vision loss from conditions like optic atrophy, Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and macular degeneration can leave capable working-age adults stuck between driving and disability. We help you understand your options and connect you with tools and funding.

I was denied by DRS or vocational rehabilitation for my vision. Is there other help?

Yes. Many people are waitlisted or denied by state vocational rehabilitation because their vision is better than legal blindness, even though they cannot drive. The DriveAble Foundation exists to serve people in this gap with transportation independence and daily living technology.

Do you only help people in Oklahoma?

No. The DriveAble Foundation has a national mission. We are piloting in Oklahoma and scaling nationally. We serve people with low vision and people who are legally blind. No one is turned away.

You Are In The Right Place If

Any of this sound familiar?

These are the things people tell us when they first reach out. If you see yourself here, the foundation was built for you.

You failed the vision test at the DMV and cannot renew your license, but your eye doctor says you are not blind enough for disability.

Your vision keeps getting worse and you do not know what comes next or where to turn.

You were told you have 20/70, 20/100, or 20/120 vision and you cannot drive safely anymore.

You went to vocational rehab or DRS and they said you do not qualify, or put you on a waitlist, and you felt left behind.

You can still see, still work, still live your life, but you are low vision and not legally blind, stuck in between.

You have a progressive eye disease that runs in your family, like optic atrophy, Stargardt, retinitis pigmentosa, or macular degeneration.

Millions of capable, working-age adults live in this exact gap. They can see well enough to work but not well enough to drive, and the system does not know what to do with them. We do. Whether you are losing vision slowly or you are already legally blind, you are welcome here.
