Since 1858, the American Printing House for the Blind has operated in Louisville, Kentucky, empowering people who are blind or visually impaired by providing accessible and innovative products, materials, and services for lifelong success. Our vision is for an accessible world, with opportunity for everyone. Much of APH’s mandate comes from the federal Act to Promote the Education of the Blind of 1879. The Act designates APH as the official supplier of educational materials to all eligible students who are blind in the U.S. and who are studying at less than college level. From adaptive educational products, like braille and large print textbooks, tactile maps, and refreshable braille devices, to the services offered through APH Press and the APH ConnectCenter, we are committed to meeting the needs of the students, adults, parents, teachers, educators, advocates, and others we serve. APH is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.
