Visually Impaired-VI

Visually Impaired

GBAPS offers services to address the unique needs of our students identified with a visual impairment who require specialized instruction at all levels. The teacher of the visually impaired and the Orientation and Mobility specialist teach and support the expanded core curriculum for students with visual impairment. We also support staff working with students within the educational environments to be sure students have the appropriate tools, strategies, and supports to be successful learners.
