VIPS services help parents and caregivers navigate the unknown

"I remember when we were first told about visual therapy for our daughter, Brynn. I had never heard of it! I remember thinking to myself, this is a thing, how does this help? Boy, was I wrong! Being with Ms. Sheila only a few times has impacted our girl so much! She has guided us in ways to help Brynn focus and teaches us ways to help her vision improve! We have found fun toys that she sees better, and backlighting things in the room to help her too. We are blown away by her progress already! It was a beautiful moment when I saw Brynn turn her head to look at me and smile. I thought my heart might stop. I was so excited! Never take for granted those moments. We also are always reminded that our kids can do anything, and to always believe they can do more! "
