Each kit contains:

Who is eligible for a kit?
These kits are designed for TVIs of all experience levels, from veterans to paraprofessionals who are just getting started. If you are a TVI or paraprofessional working in the blindness field in the United States, you are eligible for a kit.
Registration is open, and we encourage you to order your kit ASAP, as supplies are limited. The first batch of kits will ship in early 2026. Orders will be filled on a first-come/first-served basis.
National Braille Press and our generous funders hope this program will benefit you and, most importantly, your students. Our funders for this cycle are: The Richard D. Donchian Foundation, The H. Clay and Wavie M. Presnell Foundation, Inc., M&T Bank (for Massachusetts kits), and Encova Foundation of West Virginia (for West Virginia kits).
