Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri

We advance the lives of our members and all blind people in Missouri, and we are a state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind. We know 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. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

 

BELL Academy

The program will run from June 16 - 27.  It is a program for children ages 4 - 12.  It is designed to enhance braille and other non-visual skills through fun, hands-on activities.  More information can be found at www.nfb.org/bell

It is happening August 2 in Jefferson City.  Explore Experiment Excel  for students in grades 3 - 12.  This is a free one day event designed to show students that STEM can and should be accessible for all.  Also, during this activity families are invited to stay and participate in an IEP advocacy workshop.   Here is the website to apply: www.nfb.org/stem2u
