American Foundation for the Blind connects families with vision disabilities to knowledge and support. In the business world, they guide the creation of more accessable products for the blind to use and they offer publications and learning courses to help educate professionals in the field of vision impairment.
AFB makes sure students receive their textbooks at the same time sighted peers get theirs, making sure iPhones and iPads are available, and popular prime time and children's television shows are video described.
They also help pharmacies to use best practice in providing prescription labels in large print and Braille.
