In 2015 VIPS entered into a partnership and relocated the VIPS Central Kentucky office at th e Lexington Hearing & Speech Center. Little Learners, a playgroup for two - year - olds who are blind or visually impaired, opened its doors to the Lexington community. Likewise, Lexington Hearing & Speech Centered began welcoming VIPS children into their incl usive preschool program, originally established to serve children with language delays and/or hearing loss. Because the VIPS mission knows no borders, in 2011 a satellite location with two employees was launched in Bloomington, Indiana. Driven by a mother of a blind child and a dedicated Teacher of the Blind/Low Vision, VIPS Indiana was a grassroots effort charged to change the landscape for Indiana's youngest children who are blind or visually impaired. With the backing of the VIPS Board of Directors, thi s mother and teacher began providing early intervention services in 2011.
