Idaho Parents of Blind Children
The Idaho Parents of Blind Children (IPBC) is a statewide membership organization of parents and other interested persons who come together to provide vital support, give encouragement, and information to each other. Parents, relatives, blind persons, educators, and others interested in providing opportunities for blind children may join. Although membership is open to non-parents, the control and focus of IPBC remains with parents.

Provide information and support to parents of blind children.
To facilitate the sharing of experience and concerns among parents of blind children.
To develop and expand resources available to parents and their blind children.
