Blind Beginnings is pleased to announce our Community Discovery outing to ArtStarts for a hands-on “Create Your Own Planet” workshop. What: Do you like arts and crafts? Are you curious about the mysteries of the solar system? Join us for a make-your-own planet activity involving yarn and ribbon in a galaxy themed Maker Space. We will have an opportunity to touch the planets hanging from the ceiling to get a sense of its shape and size before creating our own alongside ArtStarts instructors. The planets created will also be part of an ArtStarts exhibition!

Do you have a child with a visual impairment? Are you looking to connect with other parents who do? If you are like most parents of a child who is blind or partially sighted, you had not met anyone who was blind before your child was diagnosed. The "Seeing Things Differently" Parent Support Group is a place to connect with other parents who have a first-hand understanding of what you're going through. The first of six sessions is launching on October 8 2019. Don't miss this great opportunity facilitated by Shawn Marsolais and Jan Hart, whom are registered cousellors and parents.

Each month Blind Beginnings invites parents who are raising children who are blind or partially sighted to connect online or over the phone. Our meeting time is the 2nd Thursday of each month from 1:00 – 2:30 PM. Topic: Advocacy What is advocacy you ask? It’s just a fancy word for asking for what you need. Being a parent of a child with a visual impairment means you will need to ask for some accommodations from time to time, and figuring out how to do that takes some time and practice. Join us to talk this through with other parents who are also working through this.
