You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.

Legislative Priorities & Fact Sheets
Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility
End unequal access to medical devices. Inaccessible digital interfaces prevent blind individuals from independently and safely operating medical devices that are essential to their daily healthcare needs.
Websites & Applications Accessibility
End website and mobile application inaccessibility. Websites are required by law to be accessible, but without implementing regulations, most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what accessible means.
Access Technology Affordability
Improve affordability of critically needed access technology necessary for employment and independent living. The cost of critically needed access technology is out of reach for most blind Americans.
Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment
Remove artificial barriers to employment opportunities. Promote competitive, integrated employment for people with disabilities.
