Beacon For The Future

Advances in technology are opening doors of opportunity to youth with vision impairments. The Lighthouse embraces this progress and is dedicated to helping visually impaired children have successful academic careers.  Beacon for the Future is a computer-lending program designed to help visually impaired high school students succeed in school by providing them with the tools they need to meet the same standards as those of their sighted peers.  Students in this program must be actively participating in the Choice Program and will be evaluated for eligibility prior to receiving a loaner laptop with assistive software.  Additionally, a contractual agreement and on-going training is required from both the students and their parents to maintain the equipment throughout the school year.
