In celebration of Physical Therapy Month, meet Elise, our Doctor of Physical Therapy✨

Elise was motivated to become a physical therapist because of her drive to want to help kiddos learn new skills to grow and live their best lives! She helps children improve their strength and balance in order to develop new skills 💪🏻

Thank you, Elise, for the dedication, encouragement and heart you bring to Beyond Blindness💜

Happy DAF Day!

Did you know your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) can help create brighter futures for children with visual impairments and other disabilities?

A DAF is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to support the causes you care about. By recommending a grant to Beyond Blindness, you can help provide life-changing therapies, family support, early intervention services, camps, and programs that empower children to reach their fullest potential.

🍓 Can you make a strawberry shortcake while blindfolded?

At Beyond Blindness’ first-ever Fall Luncheon, guests took on the challenge. The activity offered a glimpse into the skills, adaptability, and confidence children with visual impairments build every day.

Together, we’re seeing possibility and creating impact. 💜

October is World Blind Awareness Month!

Blind Awareness Month was established in 2009 to promote understanding, advocacy, and education surrounding blindness and visual impairment. The month highlights the realities of those living without sight, celebrates achievements of blind individuals and encourages community to support, educate and practice inclusivity.

To kick off the month, swipe through to debunk some
common myths about blindness.💜🧑🏻‍🦯



Image description: An image carousel explores common myths and facts about blindness and visual impairment, helping build awareness and understanding of the diverse experiences of people with vision loss. The images contain educational text that explains how individuals who are blind or visually impaired navigate daily life, use tools such as white canes, and achieve greater independence through accessible supports and services.

In honor of CVI Awareness Day, we're sharing insights from our Therapy Manager, Hannah, who attended this year's CVI Conference.
Simple strategies can make a meaningful difference for children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI):

✔ Reduce visual complexity
✔ Allow extra processing time
✔ Minimize competing sensory input
✔ Use color and movement with purpose

An estimated 1 in 30 children may be experiencing challenges with brain-based visual processing without anyone realizing it. The more we understand CVI, the better we can support children, meet them where they are, and help them access learning and everyday experiences with confidence.

💙 Today, let's raise awareness, foster understanding, and advocate for children with CVI.
