Blindness Awareness
Day - October, 2008
Blindness Awareness Day has passed the
Assembly by
unanimous vote. Next step the state house! We will keep
you posted on our progress.
Community events
are held throughout the year to help foster friendships and networking
between families and their children. Our outreach program gives back
to the community by educating our future teachers, discussing the
issues and concerns of teaching a child with little or no vision
within the classroom. The program informs teachers how to refine
learning systems and techniques that will mainstream children into
today’s complex society. The foundation also purchases computers and
software for schools of special education students, to ensure that
children who are blind or visually impaired are exposed to the latest
computer technology at an early are to maximize their chances for a
better future.
