Learn work skills, explore a career, get a job on campus or in the community. Grow with special friends who share and understand visual loss. Students go home on a weekly or monthly basis to be with their families. Some of these programs take place during the school year, others are offered during the summer. There is no cost to students or their families for instructional and residential services.
Families simply provide for their child's clothing, medical care, and personal needs.
Workshops, on-site consultations, newsletters and parent support are available. A student must be 21 years of age or younger, must have a visual impairment or a visual impairment with an additional disability, and must need specialized services related to the visual impairment to receive services. Although this does not happen very often, the parent may request assistance from the Texas Education Agency to provide mediation in order to resolve the problem, or the parent may request a due process impartial hearing in accord with the provisions of the federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. Contact the school's admission office if you are interested in school year or summer programs. Contact Outreach Services if you desire services to be provided in your local area.
