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.

Free Braille Books Program

No child should be left out because he or she is blind. Through the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults Free Braille Books program, blind children can now discuss the newest book with their classmates and build their very own collection of books from popular children’s reading series–just like their sighted friends. Since 1997, the program has produced over 170 titles in Braille and given them away at the rate of one to three books a month to approximately 15,000 subscribers. Not only does the program benefit those actually enrolled, but due to collaboration with the National Library of Congress, Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, copies of each selection from the program are placed in regional libraries for the blind around the country. More information about the program and how to apply can be found at Free Braille Books Program.
