About Us

The Texas Center for the Visually Challenged (TCVC) was forerly called Texas Center for the Physically Impaired (TCPI). Our name now more clearly reflects our mission to serve the needs of the visually challenged and their family members in the United States and Canada so that they may be better able to cope with their problems and have a better quality of life.

Who We Are

Photo of Bob Langford at his computerThe organization was founded by Robert Langford (shown left at his computer), who holds a Ph.D. from New York University in Rehabilitation-Administration and has 50 years experience, largely at the CEO level. Volunteers provide invaluable assistance in computer refurbishing, circulation of movies, clerical work, packing, shipping, and legal advice.

Our work has been widely publicized in magazines for the blind. Last year 15 programs were presented about the organization, including presentations on television and radio, and programs at Lion Clubs and senior groups. An article in Advocate Magazine (May 2004) tells the whole exciting saga of Robert Langford's lifelong work on behalf of the visually impaired.
