Early Connections Build Strong Foundations
We meet children and families where they are—at home, in childcare, or wherever they need us most—to deliver tailored support. Our team is dedicated to equipping families with the resources and tools to help their children grow, learn, and succeed.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Eighty to ninety percent of learning comes from or is stimulated by vision. For children with visual impairments, understanding the world around them requires direct teaching of concepts that other children learn incidentally.
Our goal is to empower families and help young children grow and learn during the critical early years.
What Services Do We Offer?
Our services are designed to meet each child’s unique needs and are based on your family’s concerns and goals. Here’s what we offer:
- Functional Vision Assessment: This is often the first step. A teacher will visit you and your child to observe how they use their vision and other senses during daily activities. After the assessment, we’ll provide recommendations and a detailed report to help you better understand how your child’s vision is impacting their learning.
- Educational Vision Services: Our Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) visit your home, childcare center, or other community locations to help your child use their vision and other senses to explore and learn about the world. They also work closely with you to implement strategies and adaptions to meet the learning needs of your child.
- Developmental Vision Services: Our Child Development Specialists work alongside families to support your child’s growth through everyday moments. They offer simple, engaging activities that nurture development across key areas—including thinking and learning, movement, communication, self-help skills, and social-emotional connections.
- Orientation and Mobility Services: As your child starts to move and walk, our specialists help them understand their environment and navigate it safely.
- Occupational Therapy: Our occupational therapists focus on helping children with self-care, feeding, sensory processing (like sound and touch), and using their hands and fine motor skills for everyday tasks.
- Physical Therapy: Our physical therapists support children as they develop the strength and skills needed for sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. They can also help with positioning equipment if needed.
- Speech and Language Therapy: Our speech therapists work on communication skills and helping your child understand and express themselves.
- Low Vision Evaluation: If needed, we can refer your child for an assessment with an optometrist for additional information about how your child is using their vision.
