Special Programs were developed to serve academic students from Texas who can benefit from a short period of intensive instruction in some area of the expanded core curriculum for visually impaired students. Referrals must come from the local school district (usually the VI teacher). Interested parents should confer with their school district about objectives for their child, and work together to make a referral.
