I had the opportunity to experience “breakfast in the dark” at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired. That was a good experience to feel the difficulty of eating a meal without the gift of sight. Everything from pouring a drink to eating pancakes with syrup.

The goal of the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired is to provide a quality comprehensive education and serve as a statewide resource to students in Illinois with visual impairments, assisting them in becoming personally productive and self-sufficient citizens.

The Illinois School for the Visually Impaired (ISVI), established in 1849, is a residential/day school for students who are blind or visually impaired. Located in Jacksonville, ISVI provides accredited educational and related services for children from birth to twenty-two years of age through preschool, elementary, and high school.
