MOSPIN

The purpose of the Missouri Statewide Parent Involvement Network (MoSPIN) is to support parents of infants and toddlers with a visual impairment as their first and most powerful teacher. MoSPIN is a no-cost homebased program for families of children, birth through five years of age, who are visually impaired, including those with multiple disabilities and combined vision and hearing challenges. We got you parents! This is for you!

MoSPIN Provides:

  • Home visits by parent advisors… parents select one or two hour visits,
  • Focus on parents as their child’s first and most important teacher;
  • Information to help parents understand their child’s visual diagnosis and learning characteristics;
  • Parent lessons on vision, communication, motor, hearing or cognition from the national INSITE curriculum;
  • Ongoing support and provision of resources to families.
