FamilyConnect
In spring 2008, AFB, along with the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI), launched FamilyConnect an online community for parents and other caregivers of children with visual impairments. This site was created to help families connect with each other and to give busy parents, grandparents and other caregivers a place to find the comprehensive resources and support they need, 24 hours a day.
Visitors to FamilyConnect are able to create a personal profile and receive information on news and events geared toward their child's age, eye condition and location. Parents have access to message boards where they can talk to other parents, videos of real-life families, a mother-authored blog, parenting articles, a glossary of eye conditions and links to local resources. They can also find featured sections dedicated to multiple disabilities, technology, education and every age group from infants to teens.
