Core Services

At-Home Services

Home-based early intervention and vision stimulation is essential in helping your child meet their important milestones. During weekly home visits from Infant Development Specialists, families are provided with parent education and support for children with visual impairments and other disabilities that address developmental delays and help promote growth and learning.

Infant/Toddler Classrooms

Children with visual impairments and other disabilities need specialized support in learning settings. Our toddler classrooms focus on healthy development and school readiness and provide a highly inclusive environment and specialized training in sensory development, utilization of low vision, and adaptive skills.

Therapy Services

Depending on your child’s needs, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are available to help optimize your child’s development for an independent future. Additionally, our therapy services ensure that your child meets critical milestones and establishes a long-term path towards meeting their full potential.
