About Us

Who We Are

EESTI NÄGEMISPUUETEGA LASTE VANEMATE LIIT is an Estonian nonprofit association representing and supporting parents, guardians, families and supporters of children with visual impairments.

We believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, take part in society, build friendships and pursue their own aspirations — whatever their vision.

Organizational Background

EESTI NÄGEMISPUUETEGA LASTE VANEMATE LIIT was established to represent and support families of children with visual impairments. According to public registration information, the association was registered on 8 May 1997.

Its purpose is closely connected to the rehabilitation, social integration and equal opportunities of children with visual impairments and their families.

Our Commitment to Families

Raising a child with a visual impairment brings questions about school, rehabilitation, technology and independence. We offer a place to ask them, share what works, and be understood by people who have walked the same road.

Our Approach to Inclusion

We see inclusion as something practical: a textbook in Braille when the class needs it, a teacher who knows how to use a screen reader, a playground where a child with a cane is simply one of the children.

Our Role in Estonian Society

We carry the lived experience of families into conversations with schools, professionals and institutions, and work alongside them toward a more accessible Estonia.

Our Future Direction

We want to keep strengthening peer support between parents, encourage accessible learning materials and assistive technology, and help children grow into confident, independent adults.
