How to Receive Services
from the
Metropolitan Washington Unit
RFB&D serves students with visual, learning
or other physical disabilities that prevent them from reading
print effectively. RFB&D of Metropolitan Washington currently
serves nearly 5,000 students in the District, Northern Virginia
and Maryland suburbs.
An RFB&D membership gives students access
to our library of over 40,000 educational audiobooks. Our
library contains volumes for every grade level, from elementary
to graduate. We also provide extensive hands-on training on
the use of RFB&D texts and players.
We serve local students both individually
and through their schools. We work with after-school programs
in inner-city neighborhoods to provide recorded texts to students
in underserved areas of our community.
For more information or to learn about formal
presentations and informal training sessions for students,
