Welcome to AAPVI

In January 2005, a group of parents responding to their own needs founded AAPVI in Melbourne, Australia. It's simple aim was to support each other in reference to their vision impaired children. Please note that this web site is under construction. Any suggestions regarding content should be forwarded by email to the committee. Information in each state will be added over the coming months.

Mission Statement

"To be an effective national self help group providing understanding, support and information to parents of vision impaired children. AAPVI encourages and supports parents to support each other to improve the health, welfare, education and socialising opportunities for their children. Please join AAPVI to further support other parents.

LAUNCH OF NEW LOOK SITE.

It is with great pleasure that we are able to launch the new look AAPVI website. To keep in line with requirements for accessibility we have kept a very similar layout but improved the compliance for screen readers such as JAWS etc.  You will also now see that there is the ability to change font sizing on the fly. This again will assist with navigation for vision impaired.  If you experience any issues with the AAPVI website please contact the webmaster (webmaster at aapvi dot org dot au)

FORUMS ONLINE!!!

We have launched the forums for AAPVI - please note that we might still be tinkering with the settings so please understand that things may occasionally appear a little unusual.

AAPVI has now started its mailing list. Please feel free to subscribe to our general mailing list. Click here to join.
