The International Society of Blind Audio Engineers (ISBAE) was created in 1996 for three purposes:

1. To facilitate communication and exchange of information between blind professional audio engineers around the world,
2. To create a web-searchable collection of FAQ and archived technical solutions of particular interest to blind audio producers and engineers,
3. To match experienced blind audio engineers as mentors with visually impaired youth who aspire to develop careers in audio production.
