Established in 1964 by the Education Department. From the BLENNZ website "This grew out of the 'Sight Saving' Class at Waltham which had the premise that sight not used was sight saved. (We know differently today.) Based at Elmwood Normal School, students travelled to attend this school from where they could access the specialist services of what today we know as Resource Teachers Vision. Other Centres followed: Otago, Dunedin 1978, Kelburn, Wellington, 1977; Deanwell, Hamilton, 1985; the network of Palmerston North, New Plymouth and Napier, 1989, Tauranga 1991, Nelson 1993, and Gisborne and Invercargill 1996."
Unsure when the service stopped, but according to the RNZFB Redress Group bio, classes were taking place in the 1970's.
