Finding Pathways For Life

KIND WORDS

What Our Clients Are Saying

Our daughter, at eight years old, was newly diagnosed with RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa). Before finding We See Different, we were lost regarding school, the next steps, and any other services that might be available to us. We didn’t know where to begin. Elena confidently guided us through our IEP meeting, connected us to local resources, helped us meet other parents like us, and learn about community-based support. We feel much more empowered now and are grateful to have such a capable, compassionate person by our side, especially someone with lived experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dealing with vision loss can be an overwhelming experience. Particularly, when trying to find California services for the blind or for the state you reside in. We have provided answers to some of your questions.

What is a Resource Navigator?

A Resource Navigator supports people with connection to vital services and programs, guiding them through the various disability service agencies and systems to make things less confusing. We work closely with each individual to understand their needs and advocate for the support they deserve.

Also, we know the frustration of not knowing what is available, and beyond that, not being clear about how to access services and supports. As experienced Resource Navigators, we’re here to simplify the process and support you every step of the way.

How do you provide resource navigation?

We provide this service by identifying relevant community resources, explaining eligibility criteria, completing applications, advocating on behalf of clients, and providing guidance for accessing services.

Who is eligible for your services?

Our services are available to people living with vision loss at any age. We also work with families, caregivers, and service providers to ensure holistic support.

Are your services virtual or in-person?

All services are provided virtually.

Is there a cost for your services?

We are committed to creating Service Access Equity (SAE) for all our clients. We also offer a range of free and sliding-scale services depending on the specific needs of the individual and the ability to pay. Please contact us for details on pricing and available funding options.

What geographical areas do you serve?

We are based in San Diego so our work is focused in California but we serve clients throughout the United States.

How do you ensure confidentiality?
