Learn About Our Priorities

Education

We speak up for children who are blind or visually impaired, to make sure every student has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Employment

Through research, education, and advocacy, we're changing the way employers see job seekers who are blind or low vision.

Aging

For the growing number of older adults who are losing their sight, we seek to transform aging services and support.

News and Events

Our Commitment

We grieve for Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others. We join with our colleagues in the civil rights community in calling on all levels of our government to commit to substantive and meaningful reform. And we commit to examining our own practices, and living our values, every day, to build a world of no limits for all.
