World Access for the Blind strives to improve the quality of interaction between blind and sighted people by facilitating equal access to the world's resources and opportunities. We are interested in more than meeting the minimum requirements for functioning and life satisfaction. We believe in mutual respect, consideration, and accommodation of blind and sighted people by society. We expect to see the blind population on mass rise to levels of productive participation and achievement to equal that of sighted people.

We will develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of a modern, holistic approach to blind movement and navigation based on knowledge of human perception, and a philosophy of No Limits. We will establish a new paradigm of instruction, and pioneer a new approach to delivering these modern strategies. We will also help to mobilize resources, facilitate collaborations, and provide specialized expertise in nonvisual human perception to guide and focus the development of effective and respectful strategies and technologies to expand nonvisual capabilities.
