Texas Association of Blind Students
Austin, Texas
Cause Description:
TABS is a membership organization devoted to the
advancement of blind students of all ages. Since
its inception in 1990, TABS has worked on multiple
levels to encourage the equal participation of
blind individuals in all functions of society.
Through instructional seminars, state and national
conventions, legislative action, social events,
and literature, we strive to promote independence
and self-advocacy. The organization operates as a
whole under the principle that inside and outside
the classroom blind students are fully capable of
leading normal productive lives. In order to
reinforce this belief, it is necessary to view the
change within blind students themselves. Thus, our
ongoing objective is to work in conjunction with
the National Association of Blind Students (NABS)
and to a larger extent with the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB) to build a sturdy
foundation of useful skills, solid confidence, and
raw determination so that we may in turn show the
public that blindness is not the limitation it is
thought to be. In essence, the primary goal of
TABS is to follow its parent organizations in
changing what it means to be blind.
