The #Braille Blizzard Challenge in Littleton!
We hosted the Braille Challenge today, referred to as the “Braille Blizzard Challenge” by the seven Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB) staff members who drove north in the storm, sometimes at 25 MPH or slower. It was also slow going for participants, teachers and parents who came from as far away […]
It’s snowing in Littleton Today, & all our students, including our 5 new ones, made the trek to CCB! #ShareLittleton
We expect no less. But it just goes to show that blind people are not afraid to travel in the snow, not even the new ones who come from such warmer states as South Carolina, Georgia and Arizona. Independence doesn’t depend on the weather! Pictured above is one of our hopeful goose-deterrants. We’re still holding […]

Thankful for the Colorado Center for the Blind!
This year, Susan says she’s thankful for her husband as always, but also for the Colorado Center for the Blind. She’s been attending Senior support groups at the Center twice a week for only a month. “My rock” is how she describes her husband and his support for her. “When I get home, he’s going […]
Our students really dig in! #COGives18

We don’t simply teach rote skills, but nurture the confidence and curiosity in our students to continue to problem-solve and learn new skills. That’s how they learn to “Take charge with confidence” so they can live their lives in pursuit of their dreams […]
