Positive Outcomes
- Increased opportunities for visually impaired children to develop faculties and skills that will enable them to achieve more advanced educational goals, increased social interaction and full community participation;
- Early identification, diagnosis and treatment for specific visual impairments, which can result in considerable vision being saved that might otherwise be lost;
- Greatly reduced risk of depression and isolation for parents and family members;
- Reduced dependence on public sector health and social service agencies; and
- Educated parents who can replicate what we teach them and act as advocates for their child, substantially reducing future dependence on public sector resources.
