  • THE SECOND LARGEST PROGRAM OFFERED BY LIGHTHOUSE OF PINELLAS IS THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM.

  • THE THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM OFFERED BY LIGHTHOUSE OF PINELLAS IS THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM WHICH SERVES CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM BIRTH TO 6 YEARS OF AGE WHO ARE BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. FOR MOST CHILDREN, 90% OF THEIR LEARNING COMES FROM VISION. A CHILD WHO IS BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED MUST LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD IN OTHER WAYS. OUR COMPREHENSIVE EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES FOR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN HELP THEM LEARN TO WALK, FEED AND DRESS THEMSELVES, COMMUNICATE AND SOCIALIZE WITH OTHERS, AND GAIN A HEAD START ON A LIFE OF INDEPENDENCE. THE PROGRAM ALSO TEACHES THE CHILD'S FAMILY TO REINFORCE THIS LEARNING AT HOME. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP EACH CHILD'S ABILITY TO ENTER SCHOOL WITH SKILLS EQUAL TO THEIR SAME-AGE PEERS AND TO REDUCE ANY DEVELOPMENTAL GAPS THAT MAY EXIST TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM UNTIL THE CHILD HAS ACHIEVED THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF FUNCTIONING OR UNTIL THE CHILD REACHES THE AGE OF 6 YEARS. THIS FISCAL YEAR 105 CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS WERE SERVED.
