About
Children's services: Our children's services includes programming that serves children from six weeks to 21 years of age. Our children's program provides special education instruction, vision and sensory training, orientation and mobility training, and music, occupational, physical and speech/language therapy to young children, ages six weeks to six years, who are blind and visually impaired. Our youth program supports the learning of the expanded core curriculum (ECC) for school-age youth, ages three to 21 years, through regularly scheduled, highly structured events and activities that are offered in the evening, on the weekend and during the summer. The services we provide are based on each child's individual needs and address the skills that all children must learn as well as the adaptive skills used by those who are blind or visually impaired. During fiscal year 2020, we served 101 children, ages six weeks to six years; 78 school-age youth, ages six to 21 (many attended multiple activities); and 99 additional individuals who represent parents, caregivers, teachers of the visually impaired (TVIS), and certified orientation and mobility instructors (COMS).
