Listening to #NFB18 roll call and it is ridiculous how many blind parents have had their children taken away from them due to misconceptions about blindess. This is why we do what we do.

In the coming months we plan to expand our information sharing by launching a podcast for blind parents and developing stronger training for social workers and others to understand the techniques that we use to raise families effectively. #NFB18

"We seek equal education and we will not permit the government to use taxpayer dollars to treat us as second-class citizens." #NFB18

Stigmas around Braille have played a part in the all-time low literacy rate among blind people. But we know that Braille literacy brings opportunity and knowledge, and that's why we believe #BrailleIsBeautiful

Hearing stories can be informative, but being able to read for yourself - understand spelling, context, punctuation, and interpreting meaning - opens up a whole world of understanding. bit.ly/2CEoytN #BrailleIsBeautiful #BrailleLiteracy #WorldBrailleDay
