Foundation for Blind Children

Foundation for Blind Children was founded  in 1952 by a group of parents who did not want to send their children who were blind or visually impaired to the State School for the Blind in Tucson, Arizona.  Through education, tools and services, the Foundation for Blind Children creates opportunity for anyone with vision loss to achieve greater independence. FBC serves the blind and visually impaired of all ages, from birth to currently 103 years old. With three Valley locations (East, West and Central Phoenix), we strive to be "the" community resource for blind, visually impaired, and multi-handicapped children, adults, and their families. We believe that vision loss is a diagnosis, not a disability.
