Episode 211 - Little Steps, Big Impact - A Conversation About Early Intervention

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the powerful impact of early intervention for children who are blind or partially sighted as Shawn welcomes Beverly, Team Lead for Early Intervention at Blind Beginnings to share how the program supports families and helps children build critical developmental skills that shape their independence and quality of life. Learn why sensory-rich experiences are essential for children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), and how activities tailored to each child’s needs can build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Beverly also explains how orientation and mobility training empowers young children to confidently explore the world around them. Plus, get a sneak peek at our STEP (Safe Travel Education for Preschoolers) program, a fun, hands-on initiative for kids aged 3–5 designed to foster sensory engagement, mobility skills, social skills, and networking opportunities for the parents.
