There are whole communities with lots of great info. Two that I know of personally (for older kids):

Perkins School for the Blind https://www.perkins.org/

Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impared https://www.tsbvi.edu/

There might be a school closer to you. I would not hesitate to reach out to them… They’ll point you to other groups in your community.

North Carolina has a school for the blind that was established back in mid 1800's. I believe they support all ages - https://www.governormorehead.net/

> … they support all ages…

I was unclear: The OP mentions an infant, and schools are for older-than-an-infant aged children. Schools will still be able to direct the OP to other groups and resources though.

I would also suggest not institutionalizaing someone, unless it's really necessary when the kid is older.
