In Brief

Perkins Discussion List Available:

If you are a user of a Perkins Brailler or someone who maintains them and want to join a Facebook support group for that, you can look it up by searching for “Perkins Braillers support.” This is a tremendous resource, especially for those of us in countries where a broken Brailler often means a discarded machine.

NFB Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.
