What key policies does ACB support that contribute to the betterment of the lives of blind men and women in the United States?
ACB is committed in its support of specialized services and programs for blind and visually impaired people, and to those agencies whose workers are trained to meet the specific needs of this population. Experience has shown that organizations having a generic approach to the needs of the disability community do not meet the needs of people who are blind or visually impaired. ACB is actively involved with access issues concerning environmental and architectural barriers, the availability of materials in braille and large print, and developments in technology on all levels. While continuing to insist on separate agencies and services for the blind, ACB works collaboratively with organizations dealing with civil rights issues for people with disabilities. Because of its increased interest in national and international sports and recreation, ACB is increasing opportunities for the blindness community throughout the United States.
