We are changing what it means to be blind. The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio advocates for blind Ohioans who are not receiving services, or who have faced discrimination. NSB is knowledgeable about Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income, rehabilitation, and library services.

Provide print, CD or cassette information, literature, and publications about blindness and the NFB to these people, government and agency offices, and members. Blind leaders conduct seminars and workshops for parents of blind children, blind students, access technology users, blind diabetics, and local chapter members. Conduct a state scholarship program and help Ohio’s blind students compete in the NFBs national scholarship program. Sign up and train blind people to use NFB-NEWSLINE. Support and make available to blind Ohioans programs, publications and facilities of the national headquarters.
