October is Blindness Awareness Month
A time to recognize the importance of accessibility, independence, education, advocacy, and inclusion for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Throughout the month, we also recognize important observances that help bring greater attention to vision health, Braille literacy, white cane safety, and equal access within our communities.
By increasing awareness and supporting accessible environments, we can help create communities where everyone has the opportunity to live, work, and participate more independently.
