STUDENTS. PARENTS. TEACHERS. THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

The National Federation of the Blind believes in every blind person's
capacity to live the life they want. Our extensive education programs
present blind students with new ideas, expose teachers and families to our
positive philosophy on blindness, and encourage blind youth to dream big.
Here is a glimpse of upcoming programs for students, parents, and teachers.

SPRING/SUMMER 2024: NFB STEM2U

Did you know a spectroscopist ("spek-TRAH-ska-pist") uses the James Webb
Telescope to study our universe? They can study things far away like stars,
galaxies, and nebulas. This year at NFB STEM2U--in fifteen locations around
the country--we will become spectroscopists. We'll build models of "the
Webb", learn about the Earth's atmosphere, discover why the Webb was sent
to space, and explore how it studies space. We invite blind and low-vision
students to learn more and register [2]. 

SUMMER 2024: NFB BELL® ACADEMY

The NFB Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (NFB BELL(R)) Academy
provides blind and low-vision children with Braille and nonvisual skills
instruction through engaging activities. There is no virtual option this
year--students will participate in day programs or residential settings
around the country. Learn more about the NFB BELL Academy [3]. 

MAY 30-JUNE 2: INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLAN (IEP) ADVOCACY ACADEMY

Do you want to learn more about IEPs and become an IEP advocate? At the NFB
IEP Advocacy Academy, you'll gain an understanding of education law, learn
how to develop a thorough and robust IEP, acquire advocacy strategies to
empower parents to advocate for students and families, assist in and create
the strongest possible IEP's for blind students, and learn to train other
advocates in their respective state. The deadline to apply is March 21.
Learn more and apply [4]. 

TEACHERS OF TOMORROW PROGRAM

Teachers of Tomorrow is an immersive professional development program
connecting teachers of blind and low-vision students with the lived
experiences of blind people. We equip participants with knowledge about the
skills and attitudes that help blind students thrive academically and
beyond. Applications for the 2024-2025 cohort are opening soon! Learn more
here [5]. 

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS

Our early childhood programs provide young blind children and their
families with support and guidance to master the fundamental skills of
literacy and independent travel. Learn more about our early childhood
initiatives [6].
