Overview

The Visually Impaired Program serves students aged three through twenty-one who qualify as having a visual impairment under state guidelines.  Direct instructional support via the teacher for the visually impaired, instructional assistants, and Orientation & Mobility Specialist is provided in the regular or special education classroom setting. 

Instruction includes the teaching of Braille and/or any additional skills relating to the visual impairment which is necessary for the student to perform as independently as possible within the core curriculum, classroom setting, and school environment.
