Blindness is NOT the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want, blindness is NOT what holds you back.

Upcoming Event for Blind and Low-Vision Students
Join the NFB of Alabama for a transformative day of discovery designed for blind youth, August 16, 2025, at the Alabama School for the Blind. The program will be held from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. This year, we’re diving into the exciting world of the scientific method! Participate in hands-on, accessible experiments where you’ll use observation, prediction, and testing to tackle real-world problems. Exciting experiments exploring physics, technology, chemistry, and engineering await!
This opportunity offers your child:
• Blind role models
• Accessible experiments
• Hands-on nonvisual skills instruction
This program is free to all registered blind and
low-vision youth (K-12).
