Beyond Blindness JOURNEY OF CARE™
When a family walks through our door for the first time, we want them to know that Beyond Blindness will be with them throughout their child’s lifetime in whatever way they need or want us to be. We are here to support the entire family, not just the child.
No journey follows any templated, linear path. Beyond Blindness wants families to understand that we’ll always be there for them. Families can come to us at any time in their journey for any reason – that’s why there are different entry points. This integrated approach really speaks to the nature of care our families need and will create the best possible chance for their child to thrive.
Early Intervention Services
Early Intervention services provide comprehensive support and resources to children ages 0 to 3 to overcome early obstacles, meet key milestones, and establish a foundation for each child to reach their fullest potential. Home-based and center-based services offer vision stimulation and therapy services that help to minimize developmental delays and optimize growth towards an independent future while toddler classrooms, located onsite, focus on healthy development and school readiness.
Education + Enrichment Services
Through Beyond Blindness’ Education + Enrichment services, students receive itinerant (within their public school classroom) education support with a dedicated Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI), Orientation & Mobility training (O&M), and the opportunity to attend fun and valuable summer camps. Additional Education + Enrichment services include assistive technology training, peer groups, expanded core curriculum, and life-skills development.
Family Support
Our Family Support services enable Beyond Blindness to be a resource for families of children with visual impairments and other disabilities throughout the child’s entire journey of care. These services not only offer necessary and comforting support to parents, grandparents, siblings, and children in the form of education, training and inclusive family events, but they also help provide guidance, a sense of community, and more.
