School-Age Program

Helping prepare blind and visually-impaired young people for adulthood

Vision Forward’s School-age Program builds resiliency and develops skills in line with the Expanded Core Curriculum through a wide range of social engagement opportunities. Children with vision loss are encouraged to interact with peers and learn through meaningful life experiences.

Our program also serves as a critical connection for teachers, paraprofessionals and parents of elementary, middle and high school students and after high school graduation transitions.

In addition, our program provides training and educational opportunities for parents and school professionals so they feel confident in their ability to support school-age students with vision loss.

School-age Activities and Events

Our Event Calendar lists upcoming opportunities for school-age children and their families, such as the Braille Challenge, Braille Games, Beep Baseball, Spring Festival, and Rainbow Day Camp.
