Fédération des Aveugles et Amblyopes de France
Paris, Île-de-France
Based in Paris, the Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted of France trains and supports professional teams in digital accessibility according to the RGAA standard.
The Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted of France is based in Paris. Qualiopi certified, it runs an associative network and organises awareness days or cultural access events. It also operates its Access Formation centre.
Linked to the federal project 2021-2026, its digital department structures its action around advocacy, expertise and training. Its work covers websites, applications and software, but also e-books and specialist equipment. Supported organisations receive awareness-raising activities and user testing.
The work is based on the RGAA standard. Sessions employ demonstrations of assistive tools and the Eye-View application, which simulates conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts.
Services target businesses and public institutions wishing to integrate accessibility into their working methods. The federation also runs an observatory on compliance with the sector's legal obligations.
