Anchor Center for Blind Children: Alice
Applebaum is the director of this not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing early intervention/ education to blind and visually impaired children throughout the state of Colorado. The mission of Anchor Center for Blind Children is to teach visually impaired infants, young children and their families, providing hope and a nurturing environment where children reach their highest potential. Anchor Center for Blind Children was founded in 1982 by a librarian from the Colorado Library for the Blind, who saw a need for services for blind and visually impaired children, and the local Delta Gamma Alumni chapter. The first group of children included four preschool students and six home bound infants. Today Anchor Center serves more than 400 children each year.
Anchor Center for Blind Children is in its fifth
year in a new magnificent building. The building itself is a teaching tool as it was designed specifically for young children with visual impairment. Anchor Center will be a featured tour site at the April CEC Conference in Denver and is not to be missed!
