Students with Vision Loss Initiative summary report : May 29, 2008-March 31, 2011

Description

Students with vision loss in Alberta are an extremely heterogeneous and low-incidence group which has complex and unique instructional needs. They vary in age, degree of vision loss, grade placement and cognitive ability. School authorities have the responsibility for providing educational programming that will meet their diverse needs. In November 2007, in answer to concerns raised by stakeholders, the Minister of Education requested a review of the services for students who are blind or visually impaired. The purpose of the review was to determine what supports and services were required to enhance and address the educational programming needs for students with vision loss in Alberta.
