Overview

Vision expertise for your public school student—where and when they need it.

Our teachers and specialists work with students ages 3 to 22 who are blind, low vision and/or multi-impaired, including CVI and deafblindness. We’re the largest provider of direct and consultative services in New England, helping students access the curriculum and incorporate Expanded Core Curriculum skills into their school day.

From assessment through the 504/IEP process, we support classroom teachers and district personnel with preparing, adapting and modifying curriculum in order to ensure student access to the general education and expanded core curriculum. Additionally, we provide assistive technology and program evaluations and school in-services upon request.
