Welcome

The mission of the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired is to prepare children with visual impairments, including those with multiple disabilities, to function at their highest potential in the sighted world.

Our doors are open for any infant to school-age child whose visual impairment is significant enough to adversely affect his or her educational performance. Children and their parents come here to discover a truly unique, positive environment with innovative and stimulating programs customized for each student.

How You Can Get Involved

Shared Visions
The Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired is a truly special place where infants to school-age children can go to play, make art and just enjoy being kids while they develop the skills to succeed in the world.

Shared Visions provides scholarships for our 212 students. Your generosity and giving spirit mean a brighter future for each of them.

Whatever amount you can give will be felt.
Thank you for your support.
