[Cabs-talk] Information Needed : San Jose Vision Services

[Miguel Mendez]

Hello Sanjay and Chitra,

I very, very highly doubt that the information you were given is correct. I
was never a student in the Evergreen School District, but I imagine that
there, just like in countless other school districts, accomodations for
blind/visually impaired students are expected to be made within the public
school system. Requiring large print or other blindness related
accomodations is in my opinion, not a sufficient grounds on which to
recoomend (much less require) private/special school enrollment. I hope
others with more knowledge on the subject can provide a more thorough
response. In the mean time, I will look for individuals/resources that may
be beneficial to you. I am extremely glad that you posted your question on
this listserv. Please continue to monitor the listserv for responses, and
please pose any other questions you may have out here, as those of us on
this listserv are individuals who are committed to the goal of opening the
doors of information and opportunity for the blind. If you wish to email me

Subject: [Cabs-talk] Information Needed : San Jose Vision Services

All,
Our son Raghav Choudhary is 7th grade student who gets vision services in
regular school in Howard county, Maryland. He has some vision in his one eye
and he prefers to read large print(40 size fonts). I got a job in San Jose
area and looking for  house in Evergreen School District in south San Jose.
I talked to special education department in Evergreen school district and
learned that they don't support students with special needs in regular
classroom. They place students  in private school.
Does anybody has any experience with private schools for special needs
student in this area ?

We will really appreciate if we get the student/parents perspective on
special education services available in south San Jose area. This will help
us make right decision.
Thanks in advance.
