Our Services
Is my child eligible for the Blind-Low Vision program?
A referral to our program can be made by anyone in your child's life (e.g. ophthalmologist, daycare provider, allied health professional, parent/legal guardian, etc.)
Our program can offer your family services before your child has been diagnosed with a visual condition. However, medical confirmation by an ophthalmologist or neurologist is required for the child to remain in the program.
Our program is available for children from birth to school entry who are living in Eastern Ontario (Ottawa; Renfrew County; Prescott-Russell; or Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.)
