The Maryland Association of Blind Students (MDABS), a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland, offers information, support, and encouragement to students in high school, college, and post-graduate studies. Our goals are to connect students statewide to discuss issues, share solutions, and make a difference for future blind students. MDABS offers everything from advice on how to overcome negative attitudes of school personnel to information on paying for college and obtaining specialized training.
