Welcoming a Student with a Visual Impairment to Your School will be held
Thursday, September 24, 2009, from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at Missouri
School for the Blind (MSB), St. Louis, Missouri. 

This session is intended to provide information to teachers and

Personnel and Families about the Needs of Students with Visual Loss
published by Perkins School for the Blind as a framework.  Topics will
include an overview for teachers and paraprofessionals of the abilities

develop their own accommodations to meet the needs of individual
students who attend their school.  Additional topics will include
orientation and mobility and social skills.
