the impact of COVID-19 on the education of 455 children and 1,028 teachers
of students with visual impairments and orientation and mobility

These reports contain a wealth of information on timely topics important to
those with visual impairments, family members, educators, employers,
policymakers, and anyone else who is invested in accessibility and
inclusivity for those with vision loss.
When you register for any of the AFB Town Halls, you’ll be given an
opportunity to submit questions or comments in advance. During the live
sessions, the panelists will field questions and comments submitted in

captions will be provided for each town hall, and ASL is available on
request.
