About the program:
The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind is two-fold—to help blind persons achieve self-confidence and self-respect and to act as a vehicle for collective
self-expression by the blind. By providing public education about blindness, information and referral services, scholarships, literature and publications about blindness, aids
and appliances and other adaptive equipment for the blind, advocacy services and protection of civil rights, development and evaluation of technology, and support for blind
persons and their families, members of the NFB strive to educate the public that the blind are normal individuals who can compete on terms of equality.
