Located in Drumcondra, Dublin, ChildVision is Ireland’s only dedicated centre for children with visual impairments, some of whom also have profound sensory impairments and additional disabilities. We are a national resource for families and professionals needing expert help in the area of visual impairment or visual impairment and/or additional disabilities. We also offer a satellite service from our centre in Cork.

At ChildVision each young person, from birth to 23, learns how to cope with a noisy, busy world. Step-by-step, day-by-day every child discovers new things they can do. We celebrate every achievement. Whether it is taking a first mouthful of food, reading braille, riding a pony. Or maybe it’s something as simple as accepting a hug for the first time.

We are here to answer all enquiries – contact us now on info@childvision.ie
