Well, the NABS list is for students over 12. That pretty much puts it at
just high school and college. And it is often a good thing for high
school students to be exposed to what college is like. The National
Association of Blind Students is a great place for high school students
to get experience of what it's like for other students and support from
other high school and college students. They can also ask college
students about their schools, and get feedback on colleges they are
considering, as well as how college goes. NABS also has local groups,
which bring together blind students in the state.

I don't know if that is helpful at all, but NABS is a great group to be
a part of, and the list is always talkign about issues that pertain to
students here and now.
