Braille Press

Everyday our staff work to support blind people in their endeavors to lead productive, responsive, self-sufficient, and full lives by publishing in braille materials that are responsive to their needs. This includes developing technology and e-braille solutions to adapt with the digital world that we live in today.

We promote literacy for blind children through outreach programs and we encourage the teaching of braille to blind children by providing age-appropriate braille reading and support materials for caregivers and educators.

We promote braille literacy as an important employment and general living skill. We price these materials to be affordable, and we distribute them nationally and across the globe. NBP provides braille transcription and braille production services to like-minded organizations and to businesses to support braille and accessibility for all.

• Braille is an essential tool that helps people without sight become literate;
• Blind people should be able to pay the same price for their braille publications as sighted people pay for print materials;
• Schoolchildren should have their textbooks and tests at the same time their sighted peers;
• Our goal as a nonprofit is to raise sufficient funds to support these services;
• We are especially sensitive to discrimination and the concerns of disadvantaged populations. Our hiring and supervisory practices encourage competitive employment for qualified disabled individuals;
• We believe in inclusion and supporting the rights of every human being, and we deplore discrimination, oppression, violence, and racism.
