Short-Term Programs provide short-term services to visually impaired students who attend their local districts during the school year. Students travel to Austin to attend programs on the TSBVI campus, or may participate in Distance Learning either self paced, or on-line at scheduled times with a TSBVI instructor.

• Short-Term Programs - Students who are working on grade level in their local school district come to TSBVI for three to five days to receive intensive instruction in the Expanded Core Curriculum for students with visual impairments.
• Summer Programs
