Welcome to the home of the National Federation of the Blind of Wisconsin Parents of Blind Children.

Our Mission:

The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to achieve widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. We do this by bringing blind people together to share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create imaginative solutions.

Fall 2009 Braille Reading Pals Program

Braille Reading Pals is an early literacy program that gently encourages and rewards parents for reading daily with their blind or low vision children ages 0-7 (or older if the children have developmental delays) who are not yet reading. Sponsored by the Jernigan Institute, this free two-month Fall Program begins October 1 and concludes November 30.

For kids: Ages 0-7
Register: August 18, 2009 through September 24, 2009.
Program: October 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009
