Changing the World for Blind Children
Tax deductible
The National Organization of Parents of Blind Children
(NOPBC) is a division of the National Federation of the Blind. Our programming focuses on educating parents on how to raise blind children to become successful, independent blind adults.
Our programming includes:
*Holding informational seminars at our annual convention.
*Providing free braille books through our braille book fair.
*Hosting the "Braille Readers are Readers" contest to promote the importance of braille.
*Introduction to cane use through our Cane Walk
*Social and recreational opportunities for the children and parents alike.
We need your help to continue these amazing opportunities for these families!
We specialize in reliable information and positive attitudes about blindness and the abilities of blind people. We don't view blindness as a tragedy or as the defining factor in a child's life; instead, we see it as just one of the child's many characteristics.
Our status as a division of the National Federation of the Blind, the largest and most influential organization of blind people in the world, provides many benefits. Our members are well informed about the technological, legislative, and societal issues that affect blind people. We also enjoy the resources, support, and expertise of 50,000 blind people who can serve as mentors and role models for our children. And finally, as our children grow up, they, too, have the Federation to belong to.
The purpose of the NOPBC is to:
*Create a climate of opportunity for blind children in home and society.
*Provide information and support to parents of blind children.
*Facilitate the sharing of experience and concerns among parents of blind children.
*Develop and expand resources available to parents and their children.
*Help parents of blind children gain understanding and perspective through partnership and contact with blind adults.
*Function as an integral part of the National Federation of the Blind in its ongoing effort to achieve equality and opportunity for all blind persons.
