Children Services
Our Children Services, also known as R.E.A.L. REAL – Reaching Empowerment and Achievement through learning.
R.E.A.L. program participants will receive the tools, training and confidence that will take them to a higher level of success. Through participation, you and your family will know that it’s not what you can see; it’s what you can do. Blindness won’t stop you from being R.E.A.L!

REAL Guest Application
Saavi Services for the Blind offers programming to integrate sighted siblings and friends to promote nonvisual awareness and to support high expectations for families and communities. If you would like your child to participate, please fill out our REAL Guest Application.
Life Coaches and blind mentors will work with families, siblings, and students to ensure that blind Arizonan students are advocating for themselves to build confidence and taking part in everyday activities that are expected from their peers.

Program Activities
Saavi Saturdays:
Sleeping in on Saturdays? Why not get up and moving with our SAAVI Saturday programs? You can meet with friends to learn about advocating for yourself as a blind student, learn skills to improve your everyday life, learn how to use the bus system and so much more! Spend your Saturday with Saavi and keep it REAL!
Tutoring:
Join us for academic tutoring nights where we play games, practice skills and work on homework using non-visual techniques.
Real-Life Coaching:
Would you or your student benefit from more personal sessions? Our Life Coaches and role models will work with students and families in their homes, or in the community to keep it REAL in everyday life.
Summers!!!
NFB BELL Academy (Sponsored by Saavi):
School is out for the summer but that means it’s BELL time! The National Federation of the Blind offers their Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning Academy each summer in Arizona where you can learn why Braille is important to integrate into your life as a blind student.
