                                                    San Miguel de Allende Vision-Impaired People (SMA-VIP)

                                               SMA-VIP is an adult group of low vision and blind adults that meets once
                                               a month to share lunch in a local restaurant. We share information about
                                               doctors, vision research, new technologies, and we assist each other with
                                               challenges of living with low vision. SMA-VIP is the official sponsor for the
                                               Program for Vision-Impaired Children.


Program for Vision-Impaired Children in San Miguel de Allende

Low vision and blind children in San Miguel need special resources
and support that is not available in public schools. This new program
offers mobility training and Braille education to children in an after-
school program. Teachers and children meet Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday, 1:00 – 4:00 pm, in the Liceo de La Lingua, Callejón del
Pueblito #5.
