NFB BELL Academy-Growing Readers and Growing Leaders

The NFB Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) Academy prepares
blind and low vision children, ages four through twelve, to grow into
confident

and independent blind people who will live the lives they want. The program
provides Braille and non-visual skills instruction through fun, hands-on
learning

in a day program or residential setting. 

In addition to Braille crafts, games, and other engaging projects, children
learn vital independent living skills, interact with blind adults who serve

as mentors, and enjoy field trips to sites related to the NFB BELL Academy
curriculum. Through these activities and interactions, the children learn
that

blindness or low vision does not define them or their future.
