| Alamo Council of the Blind ADVOCACY! EQUALITY! INDEPENDENCE! |
Who We Are
The Alamo Council of the Blind (ACB) has been advocating for
blind and visually impaired persons in San Antonio and Bexar
County since 1986. We are a local, 501(c)3 nonprofit, membership
organization comprised primarily of persons who are blind or
visually impaired and their families. The Alamo Council of the Blind
is part of the American Council of the Blind of Texas and the
national American Council of the Blind organization.
Our Philosophy
ACB believes in the independence, dignity and equal quality of life
opportunities for all persons who are blind or visually impaired.
Our mission is to encourage and to assist people with visual
impairments to develop their abilities and attain their maximum
potential in order to become fully participating and productive
members within the community.
What We Do
ACB members strive to dispel the myths and misperceptions about
blindness by their positive example, and by educating the public
about the wide range of achievements and capabilities of persons
who are visually impaired.
ACB members provide advice, guidance and recommendations to
agencies, government administrators, lawmakers and private
business owners on how best to meet the special needs of
customers/constituents who are blind or visually impaired.
ACB actively advocates for its members on issues such as
pedestrian safety, education, better transportation and more jobs
for people who are blind or visually impaired.
ACB works in coalition with other disability groups to create a full
range of effective advocacy efforts.
Various events and activities are planned and held throughout the
year by ACB’s standing and ad hoc committees. For more
information about these activities, call ACB at 210 492-4420.
We welcome you to find out more about our organization. Our Get
Involved page has some ways to get started.
