The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information that exist. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a physical nuisance.

Louisiana Association of Blind Students (LABS)

A division of the National Association of Blind Students, we are also the student organization of the National Fediration of the Blind of Louisiana, an affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind. LABS has been in existence for over ten years. There are students of all ages and in all levels of their educational pursuits who are members of our organization. LABS members meet a few times a year to network, share accomplishments, and receive advice on problems they may be facing. You can read about the board members on this site, and find out what is going on with other sstudents in the state. We are changing what it means to be blind in the twenty first century!
