Parents and Carers

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine what is best for your child and where to go for advice and support.

Habilitation VI UK is primarily a professional body with a responsibility to provide continuing professional development and support for Hab Specialists. However, here you will find several pages of information and links to help you support your child with a vision impairment in achieving their potential in mobility and independence skills. These are not prioritised in any way, so scroll through and keep checking back as new items and features will be added regularly.
