Mission Statement
To provide
educational technology for low vision, visually impaired,
hearing impaired and blind children who are mainstreamed into
the educational environment,
for the purpose of assisting the
children in achieving their full potential.
Founded by
Lisa Fittipaldi, it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax exempt corporation dedicated to
providing adaptive technology. This state of the art adaptive technology will assist
millions of children to achieve their full potential.
Lisa Fittipaldi is always
willing to speak to organizations on behalf of children. She provides interviews,
demonstrations, motivational talks and classes to help fund the many needs of these
children. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of her paintings is donated to The
Mind's Eye Foundation.
WHAT
BLINDNESS MEANS TO A CHILD
As an adult we remember the
joys and wonderment of discovery as well as the intensity of the disappointments of
childhood. Visually impaired and blind children also experience these joys and pains.
However, for thousands of b lind and visually impaired children, the ability to fully
experience childhood is hampered by the lack of adaptive technology. These visually
impaired and blind children are hindered by the emphasis placed on "What can you
see?" or "How do you do that?" rather than the emphasis on "What can
you do?" Through state of the art technology, the tapestry of choice for each blind
and visually impaired child is no longer limited. |
