One of our individuals served in the Reading Clinics, grandparents were worried she might never reach grade-level reading. Reading often led to frustration and tears, and they felt like they were running out of options. After being referred to Sheila Williamson at The STAR Center Reading Clinic, they decided to give it a try.

With patience, encouragement, and individualized support, she began to grow not just in her reading skills, but in her confidence. Today, she is thriving in third grade, earning A’s and B’s and proudly showing off her reading abilities to her family.

Her grandparents shared that seeing her confidence grow has brought their family so much joy. Stories like this remind us how the right support can truly change a child’s future.

If you know a child who is struggling with reading, or if you would like to support programs that help children build confidence and succeed, learn more about our Reading Clinic or consider making a gift today.

The scale of visual impairment worldwide is staggering. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2.2 billion people globally live with some form of visual impairment, that's nearly one in three people on our planet.

Visual impairment encompasses a wide range of conditions, from mild vision loss to complete blindness, with low vision being one of the most common categories.

This February, during Low Vision Awareness Month, let's work together to increase awareness, improve accessibility, and support those living with visual impairments.
