Learn About Our Priorities

Education

We speak up for children who are blind or visually impaired, to make sure every student has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Through research, education, and advocacy, we're changing the way employers see job seekers who are blind or low vision.

Aging

For the growing number of older adults who are losing their sight, we seek to transform aging services and support.
