Another Midwest Ability Summit in the books!

The Midwest Ability Summit is an annual event for organizations throughout the metro to come together in one place and offer products, resources, and services to those with disabilities, their families, caregivers, older adults, and healthcare and education professionals.

Between getting to see familiar faces and meeting new ones, attending the Midwest Ability Summit is always a highlight of our year!⭐️We are thankful for everyone who stopped by our booth to say "hi" and can't wait for next year!

Happy Kansas City!

For nearly 75 years CCVI has served the Kansas City community through specialized vision services. As our organization has changed and continue to change, our mission will always remain the same: helping visually impaired children, including those with multiple disabilities, to reach their highest potential.

Without the support from our community, we wouldn't be able to make the impact we have over the past 70+ years! THANK YOU!

A little to our Play to Learn event last November.

As an organization that serves not just the child, but the whole family, we hold several Family Events throughout the year for all our families to attend. Each event is different from the last but all focus on building and strengthening the relationships, knowledge and confidence of our families!

Check out our calendar online to see our upcoming Family Events this year!

Last Month, for Disability Pride Month, we had the privilege of partnering with United Way to help remind our community of the importance of year-round visibility, inclusion, and equity for people with disabilities. As an Impact 100 partner, we are grateful for our partnership with United Way of Greater Kansas City and their dedication to supporting children with visual impairments.

Thanks to their support, and the support of our community and donors, we can continue to serve and empower visually impaired children across the region, just like Daniel!

We are ready for some new adventures!🩵🫧

This year, many our staff are stepping into new roles and we couldn't be more grateful and proud of them! Just as our staff are stepping into new roles and growing in their professions, CCVI as a whole is doing the same. We are looking forward to all the new programs and activities we have planned for the coming year within our building and out in our community. We can't wait to share this adventure with everyone and are excited to see what the school year brings!

Happy National Owl Day to our beloved Mascot: Owlbert!

🦉Owl Fact: Did you know that although owls are known for their extraordinary night vision and near-sightedness, they actually have a hard time seeing objects up close?! That’s why Owlbert is always seen wearing his glasses and using a long white cane, just like many of our students at CCVI!

Let’s Dive into the world of Aquatic Therapy!

As one of CCVI’s most unique resources, our therapeutic pool offers support for both physical and occupational therapy.

For children with visual impairments, aquatic therapy provides rich sensory feedback — the use of moving water increases visual attention and promotes ease of movement in a reduced gravity environment. From physical to emotional benefits to cogitative and social benefits, the advantages of aquatic therapy are endless.

Indoor Splash Time is always a Good Time!🩵

Water play is an awesome learning activity for young children and can be easily accessed in the home using a tub or even a shallow storage container. Adding just a little water, some bubbles and your favorite toys can give your child a sensory rich experience while supporting tactile & auditory experiences and motor development.

*adult supervision is always advised during water play*
