Our Work

At DGCkids, our Early Intervention services provide essential support for families navigating the early stages of a child’s visual impairment diagnosis. Our experts offer in-home visits to guide parents in understanding their child’s unique developmental needs and implementing effective strategies.

We empower parents through specialized training, coaching, and access to a network of allied health professionals, ensuring every family feels supported and equipped for their journey.

Our Explorers program helps young children aged 3 and up transition from Early Intervention to our GRADS program, preparing them for school and beyond. Meeting monthly for 90 minutes, Explorers engage in enriching activities like music therapy, games, sports, group interactions, book sharing, and crafts.

Each activity is thoughtfully designed to support children in reaching their developmental goals while fostering social connections and building confidence for the next stage of their journey.

The GRADS program provides school-aged children and young adults with visual impairments a safe, supportive space for social, recreational, and developmental growth. From local camps to cross-country Challenge Trips, GRADS offers life-changing opportunities to build lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.

Through group activities, skill-building experiences, and community engagement, participants grow their independence, explore new opportunities, and discover their full potential—all while fostering a deep sense of belonging and fun.

Our Vision Screening program helps identify potential visual impairments in children as early as six months old, ensuring timely intervention and support. Through free and quick screenings conducted by trained experts, we provide families with critical information about their child’s eye health and connect them to resources if further evaluation or care is needed. Early detection is key to supporting a child’s development and setting them up for success.
