teachers of blind kids need sustained and in-depth exposure to blind people
from all walks of life. Although current teacher training programs provide
these opportunities for their students, they are often limited by a number of
factors including location, funding, and access. The NFB has an active
nationwide network of countless resources that can be used to provide future
teachers an enhanced learning experience, and we are happy to work with teacher
preparation programs to facilitate these experiences for their students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
