Georgia Organization of Parents of Blind Children

This is the official list of the Georgia 
Organization of Parents of Blind Children 
(GOPBC). GOPBC is a statewide group of 
individuals dedicated to the education and 
advancement of children with visual 
impairments--whether blind, partially sighted, or 
having multiple disabilities including visual 
impairment. We are a division of the National 
Federation of the Blind, the largest organization 
of the blind in the country. The purpose of the organization is:

• To create a climate of opportunity for 
blind/visually impaired children in home and society.
• To provide information and support to parents 
and teachers of blind/visually impaired children.
• To facilitate the sharing of experience and 
concerns among parents and teachers of blind/visually impaired children.
• To develop and expand resources available to 
parents and teachers of blind/visually impaired children.
• To help parents and teachers of blind/visually 
impaired children gain understanding and 
perspective through partnership and contact with 
blind/visually impaired adults.
• To function as an integral part of the National 
Federation of the Blind in its ongoing effort to 
eliminate discrimination and prejudice against 
the blind/visually impaired and to achieve for 
the blind/visually impaired security, equality, and opportunity.

GOPBC works together with the National Federation 
of the Blind of Georgia affiliate and the 
National Organization of Parents of Blind 
Children to provide yearly seminars focusing on 
education of our blind/visually impaired 
children; to provide contact with other families 
of blind/visually impaired children; to provide 
contact with blind/visually impaired adults to 
serve as positive role models; to serve as a 
source of information to help families gain 
understanding and perspective; and to promote the 
use of the white cane and braille.
