Almost forty years ago our Founder, Sherry Raynor, had a beautiful baby girl. She had 10 fingers and 10 toes, but was born without eyes. Sherry and her husband, both being in the educational field, decided that their child would not be misdiagnosed as educationally retarded solely based on her blindness. We do not directly teach children, we supply information and suggest materials and resources that aid in the development of blind children.
Information is available to professionals and parents.
For more information, please click on the links to the left to learn more about us. The Blind Children's Fund promotes the development of materials and methods regarding how to care for, work with and educate infants and young children. We develop articles, handouts, and video materials for use by others. Didi Goodrich , Director, Blind Children's Fund Resource and Demonstration Center and her husband, Don , are both volunteer staff for the Center. At many presentations they have made on Active Learning they have shared their personal experiences, demonstrated with Active Learning equipment, described how to implement and build equipment for Active Learning, and have developed a construction manual and several articles.
