VISUALLY IMPAIRED PROGRAMS

Visually Impaired Programs is a public school that is part of the School Assn For Special Educ school district, located in Naperville, IL with about 37 students. With about 11 teachers, Visually Impaired Programs has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Based on its location at 6S331 Cornwall Rd in Naperville, Illinois, this facility operates under the **DuPage County Regional Office of Education (ROE)**. It serves as a specialized hub for the **Visually Impaired (VI) Program**, which provides essential educational support and resources for students from birth through age 21 who have visual impairments or blindness. The program is designed to ensure that these students receive a high-quality education by providing specialized instruction that goes beyond the standard classroom curriculum.

The program focuses on the "Expanded Core Curriculum," which addresses the unique needs of students with visual impairments, including Braille literacy, orientation and mobility training, the use of assistive technology, and independent living skills. By working closely with local school districts, the staff at this facility helps integrate these specialized services into the student’s daily academic environment, fostering independence and ensuring that students have the necessary tools to navigate both their education and their community effectively.
