NLSEC is committed to providing comprehensive services to students who are blind or visually impaired from ages birth-22 for Member Districts. Some of these services include:
- Special Education Assessments
- Specialized instruction, including Braille
- Assistive Technology support and training
- Consultation
- Inservice Training
- Assistance with classroom adaptations/modifications
Early Childhood Special Education Resources
- For Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) resources, there is an
Observation and Interview Form (pdf) that can be completed by an ESCE teacher to help determine if a referral for vision services is needed.
Referral Process
- To initiate the referral process, a current medical report from an Ophthalmologist will be required to determine if your student meets the medical criteria for blind/visually impaired. If you have any questions or concerns about your student possibly having a visual impairment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
