When teens graduate from high school, we want them to be empowered for success in college, careers and life on their own. Period.

Teen Transition Program

The Teen Transition Program is designed for students with visual impairments, ages 14-22, to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to be prepared for life after high school. The program’s goal is to ensure participating students transition successfully into college, technical school, employment and/or living on their own. We focus on science, arts, self reliance and friendship as core principles.

About the Lighthouse

65 years ago, when Lighthouse of Pinellas was formed, blindness and low vision were rare conditions in the United States.

Today is quite different. As life expectancy increases and the largest generation in history is aging, the National Eye Institute predicts that one in three Americans over the age of 65 will be faced with a vision-impairing eye disease. Couple that with a dramatic increase in the survival rate of premature babies, it’s not surprising that vision impairment is on the rise.

Lighthouse of Pinellas has grown and adapted to the changing and increasing population of people with blindness and low vision. We are accredited by the National Accreditation Council for Blind and Low Vision Services. And, our team of professionals are experts in the field of visual impairments, many of whom have Master’s Degrees in Visual Disabilities and national certifications in their area of specialty.
