Classroom Corner Set up Academically bound
visually impaired students are mainstreamed into the general education
classroom with their sighted peers. They
will receive pull-out Braille instruction from an on-site teacher of the
visually impaired and other services like Orientation & Mobility
(O&M), Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, Adapted Physical
Education, as stated in the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). Homework Homework from the general
education teacher is sent home on Monday and is expected to be completed and
returned on Friday. Please see their
general education teacher’s website for more details. Collaboration Considering there is only
6 hours of school versus 18 hours at home, we strongly encourage and ask for
parent involvement. Like every child,
high expectations and consistency are necessary for our VI students. They have the capabilities of being
independent, life long learners so responsibility starts now! Attendance If a student is absent,
please call the classroom the morning of or send a note explaining the reason
for the absence when the student returns.
The student will be responsible for any missed work. Contact Information If you have any
suggestions, questions, or comments, please call our classroom at
310-534-3775 or email mliao@teacher.tusd.org. |
