National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI)

National Support and Information Network

NAPVI is the only parent support group that is nationwide and has an 800 phone number. We provide direct support, information, and referral services that specifically meets the needs of families who have children who are partially sighted, low vision, blind, and blind with multiple disabilities.

The 800 line is answered at the NAPVI National Office in Watertown, MA. During 1997, NAPVI received 7085 phone calls (up 17% from 1996). Each call requires time for research and support to follow up on individual requests for information. During 1996, the national office handled 8857 pieces of correspondence by mail (up 35% from 1996). NAPVI continues to increase this service each year.
