A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
We all know that a good educator makes a difference, but a great

This is equally true for teachers of blind students...

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day 
we raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We 
can live the lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back. 
Please join us in our work by becoming a member, attending an event, 
sharing this newsletter, or supporting our programs.
