Myths versus Facts

This webinar features a panel of blind professionals from across the U.S. working in human services—including crisis intervention, social work, and vision rehabilitation—who share their educational pathways, daily responsibilities, and career progressions.

They also highlight the adaptive technologies they use (e.g., JAWS screen reader, Braille displays), and emphasize the diverse strategies that enable blind individuals to thrive in these fields while encouraging others to stay open to unexpected career opportunities.

Originally presented on April 24, 2025, hosted by the National Federation of the Blind.
