It is difficult to find accurate information about the availability and quality of services and resources for people with vision impairment in the Middle Tennessee area.
Here you will find contact information, and comment where appropriate, on these services and resources by those who have used them or been refused them.
Every attempt has been made to present accurate information and realistic assessment. The NFB is committed to a long-term campaign to improve access by all blind people to appropriate resources and necessary services in Middle Tennessee.
