Information
Families in
crisis need information, and they usually have no idea where to
find it. We provide guidance through a resource and referral network
available to families and professionals internationally. Institute
for Families refers parents and physicians to organizations
specializing in meeting the needs of children with specific visual
problems. Our staff can help locate appropriate infant care programs,
school settings, learning aids, and much more. In addition, we write
and publish journal articles, booklets, and newsletters for families
and health care professionals. These tools offer concrete suggestions
and coping strategies. Parents often share their experiences and
strength with each other through our publications. We have also
created a series of professionally produced videotapes that deal
with issues affecting the families of the visually impaired and
the health care workers who assist them.
