About Us

Travis Association for the Blind/Austin Lighthouse (TAB) is a non‑profit organization founded in 1934 by Dr. Henry L. Hilgartner and other civic‑minded citizens of Austin to provide a setting where blind men and women could learn skills and create products that were sold door to door. Today, TAB stays true to the mission established in 1934 by providing opportunities for economic and personal independence for people who are blind, visually impaired, or deaf‑blind by creating, sustaining, and improving employment.
