BELLS will be ringing in Columbus again. I am the Coordinator of this program for the state of Ohio, and will be your primary contact throughout the program. This program is open to blind and low vision students ages 4-12. Our one week residential program begins on Sunday, June 15th 2025, and ends on Friday, June 20th 2025. It will be held at the Ohio State School for the Blind 5220 N. High Street in Columbus. We are asking for a $125 participation fee per child. Anyone who cannot afford this fee may contact me directly to apply for one of our many scholarships. .</p>

In order to effectively teach non-visual techniques, it is essential that we ask the students to wear blindfolds during some of the lessons and activities. We refer to these as “Learning Shades”, because they help children learn to use senses other than their remaining vision. We find that the use of learning shades helps the students build confidence as blind people, when they discover that they can function effectively without the use of their vision. Instructors and other staff in the program will also be using their Learning Shades during these activities.</p>
