The only place in Ireland totally dedicated to the education and therapy needs of blind and multi-disabled children.
Over 150 years old, ChildVision is the only place in Ireland totally dedicated to the education and therapy needs of blind and multi-disabled children. Throughout this century of care and learning, thousands of children with sight loss and other profound disabilities have bravely overcome their obstacles and grown up to reach their full potential, guided by our expertise and support. We look after children from all over Ireland ranging in age from birth to 23 years of age.
Meeting the individual needs of each child in ChildVision is at the core of what we do. Our staff work together to realise the unique potential with each boy and girl no matter how severe the disability. The team includes speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, nurses, braille specialists, social care workers, pet and equine therapists as well as our team of maintenance and household staff who work across campus.
Situated on campus you will find our Preschool, Therapies & Nursing, Vocational Education, National Assessment Service, Low Vision Clinic, Eye Clinic, Library, Equine Therapy and Pet Farm, Swimming Pool, St. Joseph’s School for Children with a Visual Impairment and Pobalscoil Rosmini — primary and secondary level schools. We also have five residential houses in the community.
Formerly known as St. Joseph’s Centre for the Visually Impaired, we have been providing support to families across Ireland since our education service began in the 1950’s.
All our services are free of charge.
