help blind child

When an infant or preschooler is identified as blind or visually impaired, Blind child Foundation provides family-centered services to support the child's optimal development and access to the world.

The birth of a baby marks the beginning of many challenges for a family. With a baby who is visually impaired, the challenges are more complex. The early intervention program helps the entire family adjust by:

• providing parent education
• providing information -supporting the parent/child relationship
• connecting the family to resources
• attending medical visits with families
• administering visual and developmental assessments
• referral to other agencies
• supporting family advocacy skills
• giving opportunities for families to meet and to learn from one another
