The Flatten Inaccessibility report <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=c0074f4e8c&e=c0a860b2b9>  examined the impact of COVID-19 on 1,921 adults with visual impairments and the Access and Engagement survey <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=95081097fb&e=c0a860b2b9>  examined the impact of COVID-19 on education for 455 children and 1,028 teachers of students with visual impairments and orientation and mobility specialists.

These reports contain a wealth of information on timely topics important to those with visual impairments, family members, educators, employers, policymakers, and anyone else who is invested in accessibility and inclusivity for those with vision loss. During the November 10 AFB Town Hall, we'll be digging into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students from birth to 21 years of age with visual impairments, their families, and professionals in the United States and Canada <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=35c99a0a01&e=c0a860b2b9>  as well as the impact on adults attending college, graduate school, or rehabilitation training programs <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=5649bdb481&e=c0a860b2b9> .
