Itinerant teachers travel from school to school, bringing specialized support directly to students with visual impairments wherever they are.

That also means their students rarely cross paths, but this field trip changed that!

Students who attend different schools came together for a day at the bubble room. LED lighting, music, the sound of water, textures to explore, bubbles on the floor and in the air, and giant balls to walk and crawl through.

Equal parts sensory experience and orientation and mobility challenge.

Human to human, the people we serve are a lot more than their vision loss.

A FBC student walks down the school hallway with their cane. Text on screen says “What do you wish people knew about what it’s like having a visual impairment?”

A few seconds later, the students answer appears on screen. “I wish more sighted people knew that there’s not much of a difference between us. That we’re also just humans like they are.”

FBC was built on the belief that no one should navigate vision loss alone.

We are committed to being a community where every person who comes through our doors finds support, belonging, and a community that lasts.

Adult FBC students hit the lanes for a few rounds of bowling during their most recent field trip!

Good company, good laughs, and a few strikes along the way, too!

A group of nine adult FBC students posed together in a bowling alley, smiling and giving a thumbs up. Blue and purple ambient lighting fills the space, with bowling balls on a rack visible in the background. On-screen text reads "A Field Trip to the Alley!"

The following two photos show 2 different people taking their turns bowling.

That's right - they're done being underestimated on what they can do.

Our students are capable, strong, motivated, and empowered.

Another day, another adventure!

FBC students spent time on the water at Tempe Town Lake, kayaking and taking in everything a day outside in the spring weather has to offer.

A big congratulations to our amazing preschool students who graduated last week!

We are so proud of everything they accomplished this year, and are so excited to witness their growth moving forward.

Here's to a great summer!

The remaining 5 slides in the carousel are graduation photos featuring FBC preschoolers, smiling and being celebrated by their families and staff. Photos are taken inside the FBC gym, where graduation took place.

Teaching confidence and empowering our students to learn at their own pace is our priority here at FBC.

When students know and understand that the best thing they can do is be themselves, that's where real growth happens.

FBC students are in the room - learning, working, showing up, and experiencing life fully and in their own way!

Our students travel, play sports and games, immerse themselves in art and culture, and so much more.

There are no limits for what rooms they can be in.

Initially, a student stands alone, with text on screen that says "I always feel nervous because I’m the only person with a visual impairment in the room”.

Next a series of photos appear showing FBC students traveling, playing sports, and taking part in everyday activities alongside their peers, with text on screen that says "I'm in the room and I'm not alone!"
