C.R.Vison

We had a wonderful community outing last night to the Glowing Wild Zoo exhibit that is a perfect setting for children with CVI. Lights, movement and darkness creates an optimal visual environment for access and participation. Beautiful.

Famously known as a , did you know that was known as a rule breaker while a student at Perkins?

During this time, the general public didn't think folks who were could learn but not Anne. Her tenacity, dedication, and intelligence eventually lead her to be chosen as Helen Keller’s . Together, they challenged outdated views and opened up minds to what is possible when we modify learning to fit the needs of a student.

describes meeting Anne as “The most important day I remember in all my life.” Our world today is better off because of these two daring women. 💙

We have been so thrilled and proud to have worked with Liliana and her mother Ida and father Mark. She is enjoying a wide range of activities and experiences that teaches her about the world she lives in. The recent big snow fall provided lots of joy threw new shared experiences. Go Liliana, your sensory efficiency skills are improving all the time.

We have been enjoying so many wonderful Fall activities. From leaf hunting and labeling, to carving pumpkins, going on train rides, playing corn hole and painting pictures of pumpkins. We are learning so many concepts and improving our vision skills, hand eye coordination, and other areas of our sensory learning abilities. These kiddos love the high quality one-on-one time they get. Yay!!!

I'm truly impressed with Lizette and her daughter Christina. I started working with her a few months ago and Christina greets me with smiles and laughter. She loves to do movement activities as shown here with our warm up routine of yoga with her mom. She uses some vision but mostly experiences her world through sounds, movement and touch. We like these therapeutic recreational activities that align with the expanded core curriculum for the blind and visually impaired. Christina has bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia, cerebral palsy and several other disabilities, however she's such a love bug and very adventurous.

Ky'lise is doing such great things in our sessions. Since we started, we've been able to collaborate and work together with her PT, OT, SLP in developing active learning spaces and cvi strategies to maximize her use of vision, communication and exploration. Ky'lise is always working hard, is determined and happy through our time together. Go Ky'lise!!!

Ellis is such a ball of laughter and fun. She loves the unexpected, weird and loud sudden noises. She will give you a good laugh about the darndest thing teaching you to enjoy the small and seemingly simple things of life. Just as we should.💜🩵💙💚💜 She is exploring more and more with objects, and interactions especially with her eyes finding interesting things to look at and make request. Ellis has started using an eyegaze communication system and is rocking it exoressing consistently what she wants. Go young lady!!! You got this!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I literally have been having the time of my life with my favorite little people this summer. They're a joy and I just love seeing their joy.

My son, Roman, recently turned 15 and is making projects and materials such as Little Rooms, toy mobiles and more for families and children requesting them. Let me know if you're interested as he has lots of time this Summer for some work that I pay him for. We'd be happy to create something for you. 😃😃

Sloane, or "Sloan-e" is just the kind of gal who will capture your heart in no time at all. She has tumors on her optic nerves behind her left and right eye and has to take chemo medicine among many other medications daily. She's so brave. Well, we teamed up earlier in the year and she is learning to work with low vision aides that give her better visual access and better learning to read and write. The use of magnification, a slant board, an adjustable portable light/lamp, tape for lines on her dry erase board and a few other things are what we can do to help her in her preschool program. Go Sloane.
