| The Texas Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (TAPVI) is a state wide organization serving families of children who are visually impaired or blind, including those who have multiple disabilities. TAPVI was established in the summer of 2003. TAPVI is an affiliate of the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI), incorporated and ascribes to the general purpose and policies of the national association. We consist of twenty state regions where local events will be held on a regular basis. We hope to increase public awareness about those who are visually impaired. |

at Texas Focus 2003 Calling all parents! It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we announce the beginning of TAPVI, Texas Association for Parents of Children with Visually Impairments. The TAPVI steering committee, comprised of parents, was a response to families like ours who struggle to gain support and educational resources for their visually impaired children. Our committee recognized that throughout Texas the visually impaired children and their families were lacking the information and camaraderie that can exist with a support group. We need to address the unique needs of our children. We need to share all of our ideas, experiences, frustrations, and joys. By sharing our children's school experiences, social experience, and developmental milestones, we will help not only during school years, but also upon graduation and entry into the work force. We feel fortunate to have met so many caring, committed families. I know together we can make a positive difference in our lives and the lives of our children. If you would like to become a member of TAPVI please contact: TAPVI C/O TSBVI Outreach Program 1100 West 45th Street Austin, Texas 78756.
