Recently, we had the pleasure of touring the National Braille Press (NBP), the premier braille publisher in the US specializing in producing original braille works written by blind authors expressly for blind people. I came across the NBP when I was looking for local opportunities to get involved with disability organizations, and a tour at the facility here was a perfect way for the whole team to spend some time together, learning and exploring outside of the office.
