About the Service

CanDo4Kids offers a comprehensive service to blind and vision impaired and Deaf and hearing impaired children and young people, those who may have additional disabilities and their families. Our program philosophy is based on meeting the individual needs of children and families, being inclusive of their communication styles and unique family culture. Services are flexible to assist individuals who are unable to access similar support from other agencies and/or programs.

Family Support Services co-ordinates a range of programs for children and young people who are blind/vision impaired or Deafblind and who may have additional disabilities.

Programs are based on meeting individual needs, promoting social interaction, skill development and community inclusion.

The service offers individual and counselling support, particularly during periods of transition.

Yearly reviews are held to assist parents and their child/young person to meet their changing needs and to offer assistance with transition, integration into community activities and programs, and/or support to access CanDo4Kids Services.
