<br>
TRECCK for Success is a program designed to provide instruction in the areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) for students entering 1st-12th grades in the fall. The ECC is a vision-specific set of skills that compensate for vision loss and is foundational
for all other learning. It focuses on independence, assistive technology, vocational training, social engagement and more to prepare your child for his or her fullest life possible. It provides a framework for specially designed instructional strategies
to teach visually impaired students skills they cannot learn incidentally but are essential for success in life. There are 9 skills areas in the ECC. You can find more information about the ECC on MSB's website at
