Founded in 2016, A Shared Vision is the leading provider of early intervention vision services to Colorado families with children, birth to age three, who are blind or visually impaired. In 2018, we provided over 1,600 in-home visits with 189 children, up 27% and 33% from the prior year.  This level of service is made possible through our partnerships with local Community Centered Boards (CCBs), in 50 counties, representing 81% of Colorado’s population.  Please read our 2018 Annual Report!
“A Shared Vision stepped in when there was a real chance that children in early intervention (EI) would go without home-based vision services. Not only did they fill that gap, their staff fully embraced the EI philosophy of building the family’s capacity to support their child through coaching and truly listening to and addressing family concerns.  They strive to be great EI providers and they are!”

A SHARED VISION CELEBRATED ITS THIRD YEAR OF SERVICE...

…on October 26th with a pre-game birthday party at the Pepsi Center followed by the Avalanche hockey game at 7 pm. The evening included food, libations and free Avs t-shirts! Logan and Kara Schneider spoke about how their EI-TVI from a Shared Vision taught them how to nurture their son Kaige and give them hope. Afterwards, there was a drawing for a hockey puck autographed by Gabriel Landeskog, the Avs team captain.

PUMPKIN PATCH FRIENDS

More than 30 family members - children with visual impairments, their parents, grandparents and siblings - joined A Shared Vision for a sensory learning experience in Washington Park, Denver on September 28.  Together we explored a farmer's market and practiced orientation and mobility concepts at a pumpkin patch. It was great fun for all!
"This was our first time coming to an A Shared Vision Family Fun Day and our family loved it!"
"This event was awesome. I really like how we had to describe things without being able to see them!"

MEET WILL!

The Shuberts adopted Will in 2018 after he spent a year with them as foster parents and with another foster family in Grand Junction. The same Early Intervention Teacher of the Visually Impaired from A Shared Vision has been their provider throughout these transitions. Since he was four months old, “she’s been Will’s constant. Not only to support him, but also to support me,” explains Shannan, Will’s mom.
