About NFB BELL
NFB BELL Academy, an annual summer program, is appropriate for blind and low-vision children, ages 4-12, who:
* Do not receive enough Braille and nonvisual skills instruction in school
* Could benefit from more Braille exposure over the summer
* Would enjoy connecting with blind role models
While the program is typically in person across the country, we are excited to offer it virtually in 2021.
