Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Eye Diseases, Blindness & Vision Impairments, Health
Mission: Unique in Wisconsin and one of the few agencies of its type in the entire United States, the Center provides a full range of early intervention services for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with visual impairments and for their families. Founded in 1967, the Center has a long and successful history of serving the special educational, therapeutic and emotional needs of children from birth through age six who are blind and visually impaired. Some of the children who attend the Center have diagnosed disabilities in addition to their vision loss. Others experience delays in development as a result of their visual impairment. The Center serves over 80 families per year. While the majority of children served reside in Milwaukee County, the Center also serves children from surrounding counties. The Center participates in the Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, Racine County, Washington County, and Ozaukee County Birth to Three programs. Services for the visually impaired and for their parents/caregivers are free of charge
