The focus of Little Bear Gives will be to provide CVI (Cortical visual impairment)iPad packages to families in need who have children with CVI(Cortical visual impairment). A family at any income level may be considered for this project. The term “family in need” applies to any family who may not be able to afford an iPad for a variety of reasons. They know that many children with CVI (Cortical visual impairment) have complex medical or other needs that can be very expensive, making it difficult to find the money to invest in an iPad. They believe the iPad can be an amazingly powerful tool in the life of a child with CVI. iPads are uniquely suited to the needs of those with CVI because they are backlit, easy to interact with, and there is a huge variety of apps available to suit the particular needs and preferences of each child.
For these reasons, Little Bear Sees is excited to announce that they are giving away their first iPad through their Little Bear Gives project! The iPad package will included.
All applications for the first round must be submitted by 8/30/12 to be considered. The first recipient will be chosen by 9/15/12. This is only their first iPad package giveaway. Qualified applications not chosen will be kept on file and considered for future giveaways.
If you would like to be considered for an iPad, please fill out the online Little Bear Gives Application or download the PDF of the application. Anyone who has a child with CVI is welcome to apply!
