The American Council of the Blind (ACB) was founded in 1961 but many of its state affiliates and local chapters have a history that can be traced back to the 1880s. Since its inception, ACB and its affiliates have been at the forefront in advocating for programs and policies that have created the opportunities blind and visually impaired Americans now enjoy. The American Council of the Blind believes in the acceptance of all blind persons irrespective of where they are in their adjustment to blindness. We value every person for their individual strengths, abilities, and accomplishments, and we look forward to seeing ACB Link serve as a further vehicle of communication and interaction among all members of the ACB community and among those with questions and concerns about sight loss.

Fantastic resource.

It is nice to have a place to go on iOS to find information on the American Council of the blind.

This app would be better if they scrapped the whole thing.

For an app that is supposed to be for the blind or visually impaired, it's impossible. The instructions are difficult, because even if you follow them verbatim, you don't get where they say you're supposed to go. I missed the description of yesterday's eclipse because though I followed the instructions verbatim, as did a sighted person who was right there with me, we couldn't get there. We could see what was supposedly playing, but never actually got to hear any of it. From what I understand, I'm not the only one who missed it because of the impossible instructions for finding it. So far, nobody that I have asked was able to find the eclipse feed.

Maybe just I’m having this problem.

The app keeps crashing when I try to open it. I uninstall and then reinstall it and the same thing keeps happening.
