Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower Colorado's families to nurture the development of their children who are blind or visually impaired. Our goal is to ensure that all families of children with visual impairments, from birth to age three, receive early intervention services specific to blindness, deaf-blindness, visual impairment or vision concerns from a community of highly skilled and collaborative professionals.

Our team of experienced and caring Early Intervention Teachers of the Visually Impaired works closely with families ? one-on-one in their homes and community settings ? to nurture the strengths of each child and build skills for lifelong success. We partner with Early Intervention Colorado to: (1) help families understand their child?s specific visual diagnosis and the effect it will have on early learning; (2) teach caregivers strategies for interacting with their child and how to provide a variety of multi-sensory learning experiences for a child to gain access to the visual world; (3) model how their child learns through play so families understand how to incorporate learning into everyday routines; (4) foster emergent literacy through singing songs, story-telling, exposure to print, braille and other pre-reading activities; and (5) assist families, when a child turns 3, with the transition from Part C to Part B.
