There are many concerns that blind and visually impaired persons deal with
on a daily basis. The National Federation of the Blind, NFB, the largest
organization of blind persons in the nation, tackles many of these issues.
The NFB passionately believes that it is respectable to be blind and that
any blind person can live happily along side their sighted community
members. The first step in becoming a successful blind or visually impaired
person is to find other blind and visually impaired people who share your
same concerns. The NfB is here to help you.
