Dear AccessWorld readers, Happy holidays from everyone here at AccessWorld. At the time of writing, we have just concluded the AFB Leadership Conference for 2025. Stay tuned to the AccessWorld podcast, as we have several episodes coming soon from the conference. This month, we have a full issue for you as we head into the holidays.

Dear AccessWorld readers, Welcome to the fall edition of AccessWorld! Before we jump into this month’s issue, I want to make you aware of a research opportunity currently available through AFB. Our Public Policy and Research Institute is continuing its work on the impact of AI on people who are blind or have low vision. This study explores how AI use differs between people with and without disabilities.

Dear AccessWorld readers, Welcome to the Summer 2025 edition of AccessWorld! Before we dive into this month’s issue, did you know that AFB has another quarterly publication covering our broader work? It’s called Focus On AFB and includes articles on various projects and initiatives, including those from our Public Policy and Research Institute, the AFB Talent Lab, and other programs. If you're interested in the wider work of AFB, it's definitely worth checking out.
