Mission and Program Overview
Mission
METAS is an organization that aims to spread training on blindness skills in Mexico though a lens of structured discovery and cultural sensitivity. We provide the expertise to teachers and professionals working with blind adults and children so that local professionals can continue to foster a positive atmosphere. We use research based practices in working with the blind and professionals in the field. METAS is a non profit organization working in Mexico to build a community of inclusion around blind and low vision students. Currently 60% of blind and low vision students in Mexico do not have access to any type of education. We hope to close that gap by working with educators and giving them the tools necessary to provide high quality instruction. With your help we can reach our goals of education for the blind in Mexico.

| The #METASMexico18 project returned our focus in Guadalajara, Mexico. La Escuela de Ninos Ciegos (school for blind children) once again served as our point of reference in hands-on mentorship for teachers and students. METAS applied a train the trainer model in coordination with school administration. We believe in evidence-based teaching approaches and mentoring as key components to our work. METAS mentored and worked directly with 10 teachers and 25 students in the areas of Orientation and mobility, Daily living skills, Philosophy, and. Braille. METAS was able to reach students, teachers and parents through this project. | $0 | $303 |
| METAS along with the NFB of Texas hosted a workshop for 17 blind Spanish speaking individuals and their families. They received training in the areas of braille, technology, orientation and mobility, and home management. The whole workshop was done in Spanish, and participants reported a great sense of accomplishment and felt more independent and self-sufficient after the workshop. | $0 | $0 |
