ASVI Edmonton

The Alberta Society for the Visually Impaired (ASVI) Edmonton supports children who are blind or visually impaired, including children with additional needs, and the families and advocates around them. Its work focuses on helping these children maximize their successes and access opportunities alongside sighted peers. ASVI shares information about adaptive technology and basic learning tools that can assist students with vision loss, along with education funding and other resources for families.

The organization also offers family memberships for $20 per year and fosters connection through a supportive community for parents, caregivers, and advocates. Its Facebook group provides a space to share experiences, resources, and encouragement. ASVI’s events bring participants together in inclusive, social settings, with activities such as bowling nights and parent peer group meetings. The society also holds annual general meetings and shares relevant presentations, including information about CNIB Legal Referral Services. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, ASVI provides a local point of connection for people seeking community, practical information, and support related to children’s visual impairment.
