Description:

The American Council of the Blind strives to increase the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and quality of life for all blind and visually impaired people.

ACB Scholarships
The scholarship program awards students with scholarships which helps with post-secondary education financial needs such as tuition, fees, room and board and other additional costs associated with adaptive technology.

Audio Description Project
The mission of ACB’s Audio Description Project (ADP) is to promote and advocate for the use of high-quality Audio Description in television, movies, performing arts, museums, educational materials and other venues where the presentation of visual media is critical to the understanding and appreciation of the content. Our goals are to sponsor a broad range of activities designed to build awareness of audio description among the general public as well as its principal users, people who are blind or have low vision.

Advocacy and Governmental Affairs
ACB advocates on a wide variety of issues for people who are blind and visually impaired. At the governmental level, ACB works on drafting proposals, analyzing current legislative developments, and working with regulatory agencies to support programs that help blind and visually impaired individuals to sustain their independence, security, equality of opportunity and quality of life.

ACB Radio streams on the internet, up-to-date and relevant information worldwide.
