The Utah Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired has been serving the blind children, youth and young adults of Utah, along with their families, since 1988. Our programs are designed to enhance the lives of the blind by teaching skills, providing experiences and developing self confidence to help those we serve live fulfilled and productive lives with the greatest degree of independence possible.  

UFB provides numerous programs in the areas of education, independent living, athletics, recreation, and social skills training. Our goal is to help each blind child have the experiences and skills to reach their maximum potential and live a fulfilled and productive life.

  UFB Featured on New Show

The Utah Foundation for the Blind was featured on the new game show "StarBiz" with David Osmond which recently aired on BYU-TV. Two of our students were part of the TV show along with Jalayne Engberg, President of UFB's Board. The show has teams of performers who write and perform songs based on a theme--in this case UFB, and a panel of judges select the best song.

The winning song from the show is available on iTunes for 99 cents. UFB receives the profits from every download of this song. The group who wrote and performed this song will be part of next February's "Love is Blind" entertainment.
