This group was designed to give support to all Oregon parents of blind or visually impaired babies, toddlers, and children and bring them together to share experiences and information in one place.

I was told The National Federation of the Blind of Oregon (NFB of Oregon) doesn't have a registered division of the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC) so I am trying to organize a place online for those parents and others in Oregon to go for support, encouragement, and information. You do not have to be a member of either to join this group, although being one does help.

This list is moderated. Listowner reserves the right to remove any listmembers who refuse to abide by the rules. I do not accept people who join via email and don't provide me with comments or an introduction. Please read the rules outlined within the welcome letter when you join. Thank You!
