Here is a resource to share with your family, friends, and patrons.... It's called FamilyConnect. It's an online resource for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children with visual impairments. There are lots of message boards, and there is a directory of available services organized by state.
The website states at http://www.familyconnect.org/parentsitehome.asp?SectionID=81, "FamilyConnect is an online, multimedia community created by the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI). This site gives parents of visually impaired children a place to support each other, share stories and concerns, and link to local resources. The site also features a mom-authored blog, inspiring video testimonials from families, and articles authored by parents and experts in the field of blindness on multiple disabilities, technology, education, and more. From the personal to the professional, families will find all the resources they need to raise their children from birth to adulthood."
Be sure to share this important and FREE resource with others! Check it out at http://www.familyconnect.org/
