How can we support successful postsecondary transition of blind or visually impaired high school students? We seek the opportunity to provide workshops to blind students and their parents to help with postsecondary transition. Trainings will be provided by successful blind adults who use the skills in their daily lives. Please take a moment to share your thoughts about what the most useful training for your students would be. Your answers will help us provide the best content for your students.

National Federation of the Blind One Minute Message:
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
