Did you know?
Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is the #1 cause of permanent visual impairment in children in the U.S. and other developed countries.

Yet after age 3, many families lose access to funded vision services.

That’s where steps in — funding personalized vision support, providing resources, and continuing education when the system stops.

JTA is proud to support Empowering Vision and the incredible impact they’re making in our community. 💛
