BTS: 2025 VIPS Holiday Card

November 18, 2025

This year, we asked our VIPS kids to create snowflakes for our 2025 holiday card. The results were amazing. We’re sorry to say we couldn’t include every submission, but we’d like to share them here for you so everyone can appreciate the hard work that went into each and every one. Read on for the gallery.

We expanded on the tactile element this year by embossing the snowflakes on the card’s cover. It’s a hard technique to photograph, but there’s an example below of a few of the embossed snowflakes. The results are wonderful and make for a more accessible experience.

Milestone Monday - Harvey

June 30, 2026
This is Harvey! He has been crushing his goals lately! His mom, Daisy, has been working on encouraging him to sit independently while using his vision in his lower field. As you can see in the picture, he is pushing his switch to activate his transformer car, which is his favorite toy! This is no small feat for him, as reaching and looking at the same time is challenging. Daisy was so pleased at how well he was able to not only use his vision, but activate his core muscles to remain in a sitting position. We are so proud of Harvey!
