Welcome to the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children
The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of our members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us or our future and every day we raise the expectations for blind people because we recognize the low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
As a proud division of the National Federation of the Blind, we are a national membership and advocacy organization of families and friends of blind children. We help families and blind children themselves maximize the child’s skills, independence, and opportunities, and we hold high expectations for all of our children. Connect with us and the resources, support, and expertise of blind people who can serve as mentors and role models for us and our children.
