RIDBC offers educational support for children with vision and/or hearing impairment, intellectual impairment and sometimes additional physical disabilities.

Our services can stretch from the day a baby or child is diagnosed, until the time they finish their secondary schooling. We also offer support for the whole family. We believe parents and families play the most important role in a child’s education.
