Many students struggle to find resources they will need in high school or college.
Below we have solved this problem, at least a little, by providing resources
every parent, student, or teacher can benefit from. If you know of a resource
we do not have listed contact us!
NEW! If you are planning or attending
an event where you believe blind and visiually impaired students would benefit
from knowing about the National Alliance of Blind Students, we want to conveinently
provide you with a simple flyer about the organization that you can download
and print as needed. Download the regular print
flyer and/or the text-only, large
print flyer. Both versions are .pdf files; you will need Adobe
Acrobat Reader® to open them.
