The National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania

The real problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information which exist. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness is only a physical nuisance.

The National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania (NFBP) is a state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind and works to enable those who cannot see live like those who can.
