News & Publications

The Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness is the essential professional resource for information about visual impairment (that is, blindness or low vision).

Objective information you can trust, smart and informed commentary, and cutting-edge news and trends concerning information technology and visual impairment are published monthly in AccessWorld®: Technology and People Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired.

Over the past year, the world has changed in indescribable ways, and we at the American Foundation for the Blind have made it our goal to keep our community safe, informed, and connected—whether by providing resources for remote learning and work or by pursuing research and advocacy to improve outcomes for people who are blind or low vision.
