Support for Educational Needs

The mission of the Educational Services Programs is to create and expand the pipeline of educational programs that serve the diverse and unique needs of individuals with low-vision and blindness, as well as those with multiple, moderate to profound disabilities and their families beginning at birth and moving through adulthood. Our certified educational and therapeutic staff work diligently to create supportive and safe educational and therapeutic environments, utilize research-based best practices, and collaborate with families and community partners to increase access to resources and support the functional and independent growth and development of the children we serve.
