Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia

We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or our future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
