Educational Initiatives

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey (NFBNJ) knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines the future for blind students. Through our extensive educational initiatives, we present blind students with new ideas, expose teachers and families to our positive philosophy on blindness, and encourage blind youth to reach their full potential.
