Together, we can support more blind and visually impaired children, youth, and adults as they gain confidence in all areas of their lives.

NWABA delivers life-changing opportunities that allow children, youth, and adults who are blind or visually impaired throughout Idaho to participate in sports and physical activity. Many children who are blind or visually impaired are excluded from P.E. in school and other physical activities in their community such as soccer leagues, track & field, or other team sports. Additionally, more than 60% of adults with visual impairments across the United States face barriers to accessible jobs and are unemployed.
With the commitment and partnership from Alturas, NWABA can continue growing programs, reaching more individuals, and enhancing relationships across the state to ensure everyone has access to the skills and resources needed to achieve their goals in all areas of life. NWABA’s programs are open to individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities with visual impairments at no cost to individuals and their families in Idaho.
Save the date for October 24, 2020, to join NWABA, Alturas, and more community leaders at Vision 20/20 Dinner & Auction, celebrating the growth of life-changing opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Visit nwaba.org for the most updated information.
