What services do you provide?

Depending on your questions or concerns regarding a child/youth who is blind or visually impaired, services might include: 

On-site help

One of our educational consultants might make a visit to help the family and school team: 

• Assess how the child is currently functioning and if there are classroom or home modifications that could help.
• Develop IFSP outcomes or IEP goals and activities.
• Locate staff resources such as Orientation and Mobility services or a certified teacher of the visually impaired.
• Start planning for life after high school. 

Training

WSDS offers local, regional, and state trainings throughout the year on topics relating to children and youths with visual impairment. See our Training Calendar for information on upcoming training opportunities. 

Parent Support

If you are a parent, you might simply want to talk with another parent on the phone, join a listserv to get information, borrow some videotapes or books, or be directed to some great websites.  You might want information on training opportunities, or state or national conferences.  For more information, check our Resources section.
