Welcome!
A website dedicated to resources, fun activities, and any additional supports for kids receiving vision and/or orientation and mobility services. I will continuously update this website with new resources as I send them home! As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns and let me know if there are any additional resources you are looking for!
