Who We Are

National Braille Press supports a lifetime of opportunity for blind children through braille literacy, and provides access to information that empowers blind people to actively engage in work, family, and community affairs.

National Braille Press is a Boston-based nonprofit braille printing and publishing house founded in 1927 to ensure that blind people have the same access to information as sighted people in a medium they can read-braille.

We Believe

• Braille is the only true means of literacy for a person without sight;
• Blind people want to pay the same for their braille publications as sighted people pay for theirs;
• Schoolchildren should have their textbooks and tests at the same time their sighted peers do;
• Our purpose as a nonprofit is to raise sufficient funds to support these services;
• Our hiring and supervisory practices should encourage competitive employment for qualified disabled individuals.
