VIPS Remains #VIPSstrong in Spite of the Pandemic
VIPS served 708 children across Kentucky and Indiana this last fiscal year. We continue to have the expertise and infrastructure in place to serve any child identified with a visual impairment, no matter where they live in either state. Our hybrid model of serving children in the homes and communities as well as virtually is the optimal way to engage families in their children's learning and ensure that our services go on even in the midst of a pandemic. At VIPS we call it #VIPSstrong, and strong is what we remain both for the children we serve now and the ones that will need us in the future.
