On Veterans Day, we pause to recognize the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. Their courage and commitment continue to inspire our work each day.

FLVBS is proud to collaborate with the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs to expand access to assistive technology, training, and rehabilitation services for veterans living with vision loss. Together, we help those who served our country regain independence and continue leading fulfilling, purpose-driven lives.

Today and every day, we extend our deepest gratitude to those who have served and reaffirm our commitment to supporting them through accessibility, empowerment, and community connection.

November is National Assistive Technology Awareness Month, a time to highlight how innovation helps remove barriers for people who are blind or visually impaired.

At Florida Visually Impaired and Blind Services, we help individuals gain greater independence through technology. Our team provides hands-on training, one-on-one device support, and personalized guidance to find tools that fit each person’s needs.

Devices like the Meta Rayban, CloverBook Pro, and Prodigi for Windows are just a few examples of the assistive technology solutions we demonstrate and help clients access to support reading, learning, and daily living with confidence.

We’re proud to celebrate the power of assistive technology and the independence it makes possible.

Today, we proudly recognize White Cane Safety Day, a celebration of independence, mobility, and the achievements of individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

For many of the people we serve, the white cane is more than a mobility aid. It’s a symbol of freedom, confidence, and equal participation in everyday life. At Florida Visually Impaired and Blind Services, we’re honored to support this independence through training, advocacy, and access to assistive technology that empowers individuals to move safely and live fully.

Let’s continue building communities where accessibility and respect are part of every journey.

Florida Visually Impaired and Blind Services was proud to attend the University of Florida’s Vision Expo this past weekend. The event included community partners, technology providers, and advocates all working to expand opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

Our team showcased assistive technology, shared practical resources, and connected with families, educators, and professionals across Florida. It was inspiring to see so many people come together with the same goal: advancing accessibility and empowering independence.

Thank you to the UF team for hosting, and to everyone who visited our table—we look forward to building on these conversations in the months ahead!

September 11, 2001 – We Remember

Today, we honor and remember the lives lost, the survivors, and the heroes who responded on 9/11.

At Florida Visually Impaired and Blind Services, we pause to reflect on the resilience, unity, and strength that emerged from such a tragic day in our history.

Let us never forget.

URGENT: Braille Training Grants Eliminated

For the first time in decades, there will be no federal support for braille training in the U.S. The Department of Education has cut all three national Braille Training Grants, This will impact children, adults, and the professionals who serve them.

This decision means:
❌ No new resources for TVIs to teach braille literacy
❌ No additional training for Vision Rehabilitation Therapists
❌ No professional development or innovation to address the braille literacy crisis

We need you to act NOW.
Call your U.S. Senators, especially if you live in WV, FL, NC, SC, OH, PA, or TX. Ask to speak with a senior staffer and make it clear: braille is literacy.

This is not about budgets, it’s a policy choice erasing national braille training.

Every state benefits from these programs.

Calls matter. Emails won’t be enough. Share this message widely and make sure braille remains a national priority.
