   Is continually available to blind and visually impaired children and their families at the Blind Children's Learning Center. Family Visions, a parent support group, meets monthly to discuss the unique needs of their children. Guest speakers offer their knowledge in the field of blindness and give the parents a chance to ask questions and share what works for them. Parenting classes are taught to help parents learn more about child development and behavior.
