The Adjustment to Vision Loss program (AVL) is run for the blind and visually impaired, meeting monthly to engage and enjoy group activities in both North Arlington and Secaucus.
Please be advised that as of April 1, 2026, Heightened Independence & Progress will no longer be partnering with the Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC).
This decision was not taken lightly. However, due to recent employee turnover, we no longer have the necessary capacity to continue our partnership. After careful consideration, we determined that discontinuing the program is the most responsible course of action to ensure the quality and integrity of our services.
We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to have collaborated with the Bergen Performing Arts Center and are especially grateful for the meaningful opportunities they helped provide to individuals with disabilities throughout Bergen County.
If you have any questions regarding this transition, please feel free to contact our office at 201-996-9100 or at mgonzalez@hipcil.org.
