Welcome to the NKCB Website

The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind is a chapter of the Kentucky Council of the Blind. NKCB has blind, visually impaired, and sighted members in Campbell, Boone, Kenton and surrounding counties.

NKCB works for equality and independence for all people with vision loss. NKCB advocates for quality education for blind children and youth, expanded training and job opportunities for visually impaired adults, improved services for seniors over age 60 who are just losing their vision, and better public transportation for people who cannot drive.

NKCB supports issues that touch all blind and visually impaired people, such as:

• Positive change in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
• Accessible money, identifiable by touch
• Accessible websites that work with speech, large print, and braille displays
• Audible traffic signals and detectable warnings for pedestrian safety for everyone
• Spoken emergency warnings and video description on television
• Talking menus and other features to make cell phones, DVD players and other technology accessible to people who cannot read the screen
• Accessible textbooks in braille, large print and electronic formats for blind and visually impaired students

Explore our website and learn about our local meetings and activities, as well as state and national programs, publications and events.

We encourage all blind, visually impaired and sighted persons to contribute their input on education, employment, transportation, and other issues affecting people with low vision. We encourage everyone to attend our warm and educational meetings to learn more about programs in the northern Kentucky area.
