Hello!
Are you a parent of a blind or low vision child?

The National Federation of the Blind of Virginia has a thriving network of
resources to support blind and low-vision children and their parents, and
imagine what we could achieve together over a weekend in Portsmouth!

Join us for an unforgettable Saturday—or make it a full weekend—on the
beautiful  waterfront at the NFB of Virginia’s State Convention,
<https://nfbv.org/convention> happening November 1-3.

Register Now! <https://nfbv.org/register>

 It’s a  Saturday filled with fun and learning for your children and their
siblings, plus an  entire weekend packed with valuable information for
parents dedicated to setting their  children up for success.
Why Attend?

• Meet New Friends: Could your blind or low-vision child benefit from
connecting with other kids who share similar experiences?

• Try Something New: Have they ever tried adaptive sports like blind
tennis,  created hands on blind designs, drawn braille pictures using a
slate and stylus, or played accessible video games?

• Parent-to-Parent Support: Parents just like you will be there to answer
the  questions you’ve been hesitant to ask.

• Braille Book Exchange: Swap Braille books and discover your child’s next
favorite read!

• Inspiration Everywhere: Meet a wide array of blind role models from
various  professions.

Welcome to the beginning of an exciting new chapter in your family’s
journey. When  the learning is done, explore a city rich in history and
modern comforts, making this  an unforgettable getaway.
