Visual Impairment

  • Students in grades PreK-12 with visual impairments are served through the Exceptional Children department.  Visual impairment, including blindness, means impairment in vision that, even with correction, adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term includes both partial sight and blindness. Access to the Common Core State Standards and the NC Standard Course of Study is enhanced by the use of modified materials, including audiobooks, large print materials, braille materials and specialized technology.  The Individualized Education Program (IEP) team is responsible for making decisions that would provide academic success, determine placement and ensure implementation of the IEP with fidelity.  The IEP team takes into consideration student data, progress on goals and current evaluation information in making placement decisions.
