First, Anil and Melissa discuss our Early Childhood Initiative Program, which introduces young children to Braille and the long white cane. Next, Melissa and Chris talk about our revamped Blind Parent Mentoring Program. President Riccobono shares with Anil why the NFB focuses on helping blind parents and parents of blind children.
