SPECIAL PARENTING INSTRUCTION

Touched By Blindness

It is Blindness Support Services (BSS) objective to present information and ideas to licensed childcare facilities that will enable them to integrate children with visual impairments or blindness into their programs.   It is a known fact that children with visual impairments or blindness can function in a setting with children who do not have these impairments.

BSS specializes in providing ideas for each child care center within a facility and how they can be enhanced to include the blind and visually impaired. In addition, BSS is able to share ideas that will enable the children to gain independence with the use of every day items.   Overall, the goal is to equip every child care facility, its staff and child care providers with the capability of serving children with visual impairments from all of our communities.

Funded through a grant from the Riverside County First 5 Commission, BSS can provide Certificates of Accomplishment to those individuals and organizations that complete this specialized training
