Happy Global Running Day!

In April, ACB’s Caitlin Lee took first place in the Para Athlete T13 female division at the Boston Marathon. In this video, she shares a quick message while running around the Grand Army Plaza Arch in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.

Today is National Autonomous Vehicle Day!

Autonomous vehicles continue to expand mobility and independence for people who are blind or have low vision, and ACB has worked with private industry and government agencies to help ensure this technology is accessible and inclusive for all.

Thank you to our industry partners and transportation policymakers for your commitment to accessibility—ACB looks forward to continuing our work together to drive a more inclusive future!

What a week in Columbus! The ACB team had an incredible experience at the 2026 VisionServe Alliance and Envision Conference, where leaders, service providers, researchers, advocates, and vision rehabilitation professionals from across the country gathered to learn and collaborate. The conference provided valuable opportunities to share information about ACB's advocacy work and programs while connecting with partners who are advancing opportunities for people who are blind or have low vision.
