Founded in 1983, the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children is a national membership organization of parents and friends of blind children reaching out to each other to give vital support, enc

ouragement, and information. We have over 3,000 members in all 50 states and divisions or parent contacts in about 30 states plus Puerto Rico. What is different about the NOPBC? Our status as a division of the National Federation of the Blind, the largest and most influential organization of blind people in the world, provides many benefits. Our members are well informed about the technological, legislative, and societal issues that affect blind people. We also enjoy the resources, support, and expertise of 50,000 blind people who can serve as mentors and role models for our children. And finally, as our children grow up, they, too, have the Federation to belong to. What is the mission of the NOPBC? The purpose of the NOPBC is to:

create a climate of opportunity for blind children in home and society. provide information and support to parents of blind children. facilitate the sharing of experience and concerns among parents of blind children. develop and expand resources available to parents and their children. help parents of blind children gain understanding and perspective through partnership and contact with blind adults. function as an integral part of the National Federation of the Blind in its ongoing effort to achieve equality and opportunity for all blind persons.

One of my favorite things about the NFB National Convention is getting to be around other Blind people and hear their stories and make lasting bonds. Even though the week is always a little busier than most, taking the time to meet new people is always my favorite part. If you are coming to Austin, I hope I get to meet you and your family.
