Please help us distribute this notice to any and all potential stakeholders. Annual Notice to Stakeholders The National Blindness Professional Certification Board's (NBPCB) Code of Conduct is a public statement of the common set of values and principles used to promote and maintain high standards of behavior among those specialists in work with the blind who elect and are accepted to become Structured Discovery (SD) Professionals or those training facilities that are certified through this Board's certification processes. The Board is committed to furthering the ability of persons who are blind to function competently, independently, and successfully--not only in their own environments--but also as fully integrated and participating citizens in the broader society. To this end, all SD professionals and certified facilities shall treat persons who are blind with dignity, respect, and provide the best possible training and related vocational rehabilitation services which can be offered based upon the most current techniques and training principles available at the time. This notice to stakeholders is sent out annually to ensure that responsible parties are aware of the NBPCB - Code of Conduct and the procedures that have been put in place to protect consumers.
