A Little About Us
Computers for the Blind (CFTB) is a Non-Profit, volunteer organization
devoted to providing computers to persons who are blind or visually
impaired. It is our hope that each person who is visually impaired may
experience the information age in a positive and productive manner. We
believe technology opens new worlds and creates opportunity for
greater personal freedom.
We refurbish donated computers and provide accessibility software for
our clients. If you or someone you know is interested in getting a
computer, go to the next section to get quick information.
Potential Recipients
If you are in need of a computer, or are working on someone's behalf
to order one, here are some quick notes to get you started.
• Our computers are available for any visually impaired individual in
the United States
• Individuals on SSI or SSDI can qualify for a grant to lower the cost
• A parent of a child with a visual impairment can also qualify for grants
• We may ask for documents that show the person meets these requirements
• Those eligible for a grant may only request a laptop if they are
currently physically attending college

How We Do It
We receive computers as donations from many sources. Our volunteers
clean, rebuild, upgrade and set up the computers with software
designed to give accessibility options to those who need them.
Afterwards, the computers are packaged and shipped all across the
country. It wouldn't be possible without all those who donate time and
equipment to the cause.

Our Beginnings
Bob Langford was blinded in an accident at age 16. Instead of
quitting, he worked hard to achieve many things. He graduated from
high school, then continued until he earned a Doctorate's Degree in
Vocational Rehabilitation. Later in life, Bob received his first
computer and discovered how computers could overcome many obstacles.
He wanted to share this gift with others and started what would become
Computers for the Blind.

Thoughts From Our Clients
I have published 3 books
A big thank you to everyone for all that you have done for me. With
the help of the software on the computer, I have been able to write
and publish 3 books.
