Reach out, share, and get stronger together

Finding out your child is blind or has vision loss can turn your world upside down. You may feel lost and alone, unsure of what your child needs, let alone how to meet those needs. What will her social life be like? Will he ever go to college, or learn to live on his own? At Lighthouse Guild, we understand your concerns, as well as your hopes and dreams for your child.

No one knows your child as well as you do. We believe that if you receive the support and information you need, you will become the best advocate for your child. We also believe in strength in numbers, and offer opportunities for you to join with other parents who share the kinds of concerns you may have, so you can draw strength and energy from each other.

Lighthouse Guild is the place to start. Along with our acclaimed national tele-support network, we offer a wealth of support services for parents to help you help your child become the best he or she can be.

The other moms in the group taught me how to be my child’s advocate and stand up for him.

Support is a phone call away

Wherever you live, there’s a community of caring parents who understand how you feel, because they’re going through the same thing. Through our National Tele-Support Network for Parents of Children with Visual Impairment, you can connect with other parents to share resources, experiences, strength, and hope. These free tele-support groups meet weekly, and are professionally moderated. Whether you choose to actively participate or just listen, you are welcome and not alone.

We offer tele-support groups for parents of children with the following eye conditions:

  • Cortical visual impairment
  • Retinopathy of prematurity
  • Leber congenital amaurosis
  • Autism and blindness
  • Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (English and Spanish)
  • CHARGE syndrome
  • Albinism
  • Rare eye conditions
