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.

NFB and Santa Partner to Promote Braille Literacy

Once again, Santa has enlisted the help of the elves at the National Federation of the Blind to get Braille letters out to hundreds of blind boys and girls this Christmas season. Between November 16 and December 20, parents or teachers can fill out a Braille Letter from Santa form online, or print and fax the form to (410) 659-6893. Beginning December 1, the Braille letters from Santa will start going out to boys and girls around the country. The Braille letter will also be accompanied by a print copy (for mom and dad to read). Requests for letters must include the writer’s name, the child’s name, birthday, gender, mailing address, and a telephone number or e-mail address in case Santa’s helpers at the NFB have questions. Braille Letter from Santa request forms are available now for parents/guardians or teachers. For more information on the program, please read the official press release.
