The Vision Book

  • The Vision Book

    The Vision Book is for parents, caregivers and whānau of ākongo aged birth to 21 years who are blind, deafblind or have low vision.

Our resources

  • Sharing abacus skills

    An abacus continues to be an invaluable tool for many children who are blind, as learning about number placement and calculations can be done by touch.

  • Online songs, stories and activities for young children

    This is a link to Caspar Babypants YouTube channel. Caspar makes music for young children and their parents that is simple fantastical stories and sing along songs to enjoy at home and in the car.

  • Ballyland
