Tele-Support for Parents

Reach out, share, and get stronger together

Finding out your child is blind or has vision loss can turn your world upside down. You may feel lost and alone, unsure of what your child needs, let alone how to meet those needs. What will her social life be like? Will he ever go to college, or learn to live on his own? At Lighthouse Guild, we understand your concerns, as well as your hopes and dreams for your child.

No one knows your child as well as you do. We believe that if you receive the support and information you need, you will become the best advocate for your child. We also believe in strength in numbers, and offer opportunities for you to join with other parents who share the kinds of concerns you may have, so you can draw strength and energy from each other.

Lighthouse Guild is the place to start. Along with our acclaimed national tele-support network, we offer a wealth of support services for parents to help you help your child become the best he or she can be.

Enroll in a Tele-Support Group for Parents

Tele-Support for Teens

You may feel like your vision loss or blindness will make your adjustment to an independent life difficult. But teenagers all over the country have gone through that same adjustment successfully, and we can help you connect with them. You will have the opportunity to talk about common social, emotional, academic and practical concerns related to having vision loss.

Groups are led by Daria Zawadzki, JD, LMSW, a licensed social worker. Groups meet twice a month on the phone (toll-free). Groups are small and everyone has the opportunity to take part. Guest speakers share knowledge and experiences.
