• The National Federation of the Blind, founded in 1940, is the nation’s largest organization of blind persons. The federation’s purpose is to help blind persons achieve self-confidence and self-respect and to serve as a tool for blind people to use to express their thoughts, concerns, and ideas. The federation provides public information about blindness, scholarships, aids and appliances, services, job opportunities, and protection of civil rights. The American Federation for the Blind is a leading national resource for people who are blind or visually impaired. Founded in 1921, the organization strives to enable people who are blind or visually impaired to achieve equality of access and opportunity. It collects and makes available information, promotes governmental and educational policies that aid people with blindness or visual impairment, and produces and distributes talking books and other audio materials.
• Braille is a series of raised dots that can be read with the fingers by people who are blind or visually impaired. Teachers, parents, and others who are not visually impaired ordinarily read braille with their eyes.
