ÖHTB is an Austrian non-profit association founded in 1981 by parents of deafblind children.

Its services include residential communities, semi-supported housing, daytime workshops, a transport service and a counselling centre for people with sensory disabilities in Vienna, which it describes as the only such centre of its kind in Austria.
