This group was designed to give support to all parents of TOTALLY BLIND (blind with no light perception) babies, toddlers, and children and bring them together to share experiences and information in one place.

I will also accept membership for people that are totally blind and could share some insight on growing up that way, parents that have older children that are totally blind, and people that care for children that are totally blind or are involved in some way in their lives. This includes grandparents, fosterparents, teachers, therapists, doctors, advocates, etc.

This list is moderated. Listowner reserves the right to remove any listmembers who refuse to abide by the rules. Please read the rules outlined within the welcome letter when you join. I do not accept people who join via email and don't provide me with comments or an introduction. Thank You!
