FOR FAMILIES
Parents and families, along with caring teachers, are the most critical elements to a child’s early success. This is especially true with children who are blind or visually impaired. Their interaction, their attitude, their understanding, and yes, even their rules can help blind or visually impaired children to develop into independent adults who are able to achieve success.
This section of the BCF website is designed to help families and general education teachers approach early education and learning for children who are blind or visually impaired. To discover more about each topic, just click on the links shown to the right. Most pages also have a list of separate resources on the topic.
Please consider the Blind Children’s Fund as an additional resource for you. We have experienced consultants who can help you to navigate the sometimes confusing structure of getting your child the help he or she needs and sometimes we can provide the listening ear you need.
