The purpose of this list is to create a forum for blind parents
to share their experiences. Topics may include but are not limited to solving logistical
problems (such as how to manage a couple of wiggly toddlers at a shopping
mall when you need one hand for your cane an the other to carry
packages), emotional issues such as dealing with the public, handling
a child's embarrassment about blindness, etc. Parents are also encouraged to
share resources, such as arranging the exchange of print/Braille books.
There will also be occasional posts concerning topics of interest to blind
persons and/or members of the National Federation of the Blind.

This list is moderated by Deborah Kent. She will handle questions and
problems concerning the content of the list. You can reach Deborah at
