Insight-to-Sight

Let MSB come to you! Are you having a health fair or want someone to speak to your students about what it’s like to be blind? MSB staff and students will visit your school with the latest technology and equipment used by students who are visually impaired (Braille writers, long canes, adapted games, etc.) In addition, we can literally show students what it’s like to be blind or visually impaired by using visual simulators.

To arrange a visit by our Insight-to-Sight volunteers, contact:
