The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.

- \ Testimonials
"I recently had the privilege and joy of
participating in a 1Touch coaching
certification course. Twelve Lighthouse
staff and community members took part
in a three day training which just blew
my mind ...At the conclusion of the three
day seminar, we all walked away more
confident, alert and ready to give back to
the blindness community in the most
meaningful and best way possible ... as
certified 1Touch coaches. If you are
considering taking a workshop to feel
more safe and confident out in the world ,
or if you are considering becoming a
coach, don't hesitate! Just do it. This is
one of the best things you can possibly
do for yourself and for your community.
(Lisamaria Martinez -Director of
Community Service - San Francisco
