Irvine, California – September 25, 2018 – CommerceWest Bank supported the Blind Children’s Learning Center early intervention efforts to help children with visual impairments. The Global Infant Development program is an innovative program that pairs children with visual impairments with sighted peers, alongside one another in an inclusive setting. Children receive Braille and low vision instruction, training in adaptive technology, access to a multi-sensory curriculum, therapeutic services, and exposure to practical, real world experiences.

For over 56 years, BCLC has led efforts in Orange County to prepare children who are blind and visually impaired for a life of independence. This contribution will support the Bright Visions Early Childhood Center of BCLC,” commented Carina Morris, Interim President and Executive Director of BCLC. She continued, “Blind Children’s Learning Center thanks CommerceWest for valuing the potential of every child. Thanks to this gift, children who are blind and visually impaired will have greater opportunities to build bright futures.”
