[Edward Bell]

National Blindness Professional Certification Board


Code of Conduct


Annual Notice to Stakeholders



The National Blindness Professional Certification Board's (NBPCB) 
CODE OF CONDUCT is a public statement of the common set of values and 
principles used to promote and maintain high standards of behavior 
among those specialists in work with the blind who elect and are 
accepted to become Structured Discovery (SD) Professionals or those 
training facilities that are certified through this Board's 
certification processes. The Board is committed to furthering the 
ability of persons who are blind to function competently, 
independently and successfully--not only in their own 
environments--but also as fully integrated and participating citizens 
in the broader society. To this end, all SD PROFESSIONALS and 
certified facilities shall treat persons who are blind with dignity 
and respect and will provide the best possible training and related 
vocational rehabilitation services which can be offered based upon 
the most current techniques and training principles available at the time.



This notice to all stakeholders is being sent out annually to ensure 
that responsible parties are aware of the NBPCB code of Conduct and 
the procedures that have been put in place.

"I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions 
of  Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of 
equal  talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."
