Welcome

The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information that exist. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a physical nuisance.

More than five hundred thousand people in the United States are legally blind, and each year at least fifty thousand more will become blind. Studies show that, after AIDS and cancer, blindness is the medical condition people fear the most. When blindness strikes, many people turn to the National Federation of the Blind.

The National Federation of the Blind of Utah is blind people providing peer support for one another. Blindness need not be a tragedy. We work together integrating blind people into society as equals and productive members. We do so by helping people outgrow their many misconceptions about blindness and by changing the laws affecting us.

The NFB of Utah is one of the 52 state affiliates (including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia) of the National Federation of the Blind–over 50,000 blind and interested sighted people. It is the voice of the blind, organized to speak for ourselves.  OurNational Office is located in Baltimore, Maryland.  The National Federation of the Blind of Utah is our local Utah affiliate.  Our Utah headquarters is located at 132 penman Lane, Bountiful, Utah 84010.  Telephone 801-292-3000 Toll free 1-888-292-3007 email: president@nfbutah.org
