Other Information:

We need your help sharing the attached documents with parents who have children with visual impairments, including deafblindness.  With the passage of Senate Bill 39 in 2013 (Texas 83rd Legislative Session), evaluation in all areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum is required for students with visual impairments. The attachments offer parents a short overview and provides them additional resources.  

Thank you for spreading the word about this important change that came about because of advocacy efforts of our fabulous family organizations!
