"Usually it's not more of a challenge to do something without sight, it's just a different way of doing it." Riley Seif, InSights Art Contestant.

Thanks @WHAS11Sara and @WHAS11 for helping tell Riley's story.

Listening to #NFB18 roll call and it is ridiculous how many blind parents have had their children taken away from them due to misconceptions about blindess. This is why we do what we do.

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

In the coming months we plan to expand our information sharing by launching a podcast for blind parents and developing stronger training for social workers and others to understand the techniques that we use to raise families effectively. #NFB18

Stigmas around Braille have played a part in the all-time low literacy rate among blind people. But we know that Braille literacy brings opportunity and knowledge, and that's why we believe #BrailleIsBeautiful

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Hearing stories can be informative, but being able to read for yourself - understand spelling, context, punctuation, and interpreting meaning - opens up a whole world of understanding. https://t.co/zrBD5AABiZ #BrailleIsBeautiful #BrailleLiteracy #WorldBrailleDay
