As students prepare to head back to school, accessible educational materials play an important role in creating equal learning opportunities.
Horizons for the Blind provides Braille and large-print transcription services that help students access textbooks, classroom materials, worksheets, and other educational resources independently. Every student deserves the opportunity to learn with confidence.
Here's to a successful and accessible school year!

Congratulations to JMS Marketing for being recognized with the 2026 Apex Award for Publication Excellence in designing the website for Horizons for the Blind (www.horizons-blind.org). JMS worked closely with Horizonsā€™ staff to produce an accessible website for blind, visually impaired and other users with a disability. The new Horizonsā€™ website was chosen from about 1,000 entries and demonstrates that websites can be both visually appealing and fully accessible.

Today we celebrate National Disability Independence Day, commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the progress made toward equal opportunity and accessibility.

While much has been accomplished, there is still important work to do to ensure that information, workplaces, public spaces, and services are accessible to everyone.
At Horizons for the Blind, we're proud to continue that mission every day by helping make printed information accessible through Braille and large-print services.

Together, we can create a more accessible future.
