Thriving Blind in parenting masterclass series
Have you ever wished there was a resource that could guide you through advocating for your blind child in the K-12 school system, providing you with a clear roadmap of the essential support and resources to ask for to ensure their education is truly empowering and inclusive?
Welcome to "UNLOCKING SUCCESS: A Masterclass for Parents of Blind/VI Children."
We understand the challenges that often accompany the educational journey of visually impaired students, and we're here to empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate these hurdles.
Did you know that students with visual impairments face a staggering 70% dropout rate in high school? Additionally, only 10 percent of students who require braille actually receive it, limiting their access to a fundamental educational tool. Amidst these alarming statistics, parents often find themselves overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complex school systems that their blind children are a part of.
Our masterclass is designed to provide you with invaluable insights, strategies, and resources, ensuring that your child's educational path is one of empowerment and success.
Together, let's unlock the potential for a brighter future for our visually impaired children.
