Mission
The Blind Children’s Foundation of Illinois, Inc. was established to assist in securing and maintaining quality educational services and adaptive devices for children who attend the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired (ISVI) in Jacksonville, Illinois.
About
The foundation receives, holds, and invests property and makes expenditures for the benefit of children at the ISVI. It counsels persons or organizations regarding student needs and the advantages of contributing to the foundation. The Illinois School for the Visually Impaired is a school which serves children who are blind or visually impaired ages 0-22. A vital part of ISVI’s programming is the residential program offered to students. ISVI’s comprehensive, specialized curriculum emphasizes education, independence and career and technical education. The school serves as a statewide resource offering students with visual impairments quality services which will enable them to become personally productive and self-sufficient citizens. Braille, daily living skills instruction, low vision services, orientation and mobility, assistive technology instruction, adaptive physical education, industrial arts, music, and field trips are all part of the ISVI experience. For many children, ISVI is the least restrictive environment.
