Did you know White Cane Safety Day is October 15?

To get our kiddos ready for this day, our Orientation & Mobility Specialist Calyssa stopped by our classrooms to read a special book and talk about how to safely navigate white canes and support our friends who use them! 🦯

Looking for ways to get involved this White Cane Safety Day? Check out the book “The Adventures of Marshmallow and Peter!” 📖

Happy World Sight Day! 👁️💛

Today we celebrate progress in eye care and raise awareness about the work still to be done. Through our free vision clinic, educational resources, and family support services, we’re helping make eye health accessible to everyone in our community.

Together, we can build a world where everyone has access to quality eye care.

This week during Johnson & Johnson’s , MedTech employees teamed up with Beyond Blindness to create tactile felt manipulatives that complement storybooks and songs. These hands-on creations help bring stories to life through touch, making reading more fun and engaging for our kiddos with visual impairments.

We’re grateful for partners like Johnson & Johnson who believe in community impact. Thank you for making a difference! 💜

Did you know September is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) Awareness Month? is a type of vision impairment that occurs due to damage or dysfunction in the brain's visual cortex. It's also the most common cause of childhood blindness and low vision. Swipe through to learn more about CVI ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Last week at Beyond Blindness was filled with giggles, hands-on sensory play, and sweet moments of friendship! From exploring new textures to sharing smiles and hugs, every day was an adventure in learning and joy. 💜

We were also proud to help kick off this year’s Festival of Children alongside so many inspiring nonprofit partners from across the county. It was a beautiful evening celebrating the festival’s history and the organizations making a difference in our community.

We wrapped up the week with our Fall Kids Day In! Children enjoyed a fun-filled day of crafts and activities while parents and caregivers had a chance to recharge.
A big thank you to our donors and supporters for making these special respite days possible for our community.💜
