| Services Offered: | Discovering your child has a visual impairment is a traumatic time for parents and other family members. You may not have come across this problem before and have no idea where to turn to for help, indeed, many parents initial reaction is that they don’t want to speak to anyone. It takes time to come to terms with this new situation, your dreams are shattered, you feel so alone, and you don’t want anyone to know how bad things are. When you decide to have a baby, you have so many expectations, when your child is born blind or partially sighted this all changes. Yes there will be hard times, sad times, but with the right support and help, you will find lots of happy times and before you know it, you and your child will be doing more than you ever thought possible.
Here at VICTA we understand. We want to share our experience and help you to support your child. We also have a facebook page for parents to chat to one another, a problem you are having will have been dealt with by many others and often they have possible solutions to offer. We encourage you to use this page, both to ask questions and to offer solutions and ideas to others. We support visually impaired children and young people by providing funding for equipment (CCTV’s, laptops, Braillers, sensory toys etc) and for vacation schemes such as those run by Action for the Blind. |
