Learning

SEHEJ Education Program at the California School for the Blind, serves students ages 6 through 21. Students have the opportunity to develop skills through both the core and expanded core curricula. The Elementary and Middle School classes offer academic and/or functional skills-based programs as determined by the IEP team based upon the needs of the individual student. Functional skills may include functional academics, daily living skills, social skills, communication skills and adaptive technology skills with a combination of classroom and community-based instruction. The academic Middle School and High School Programs include an option of a Middle and High School Prep Program with an intensive year on the CSB campus. Students who are in this program do not receive course credit on a public school transcript as they are based on the CSB campus and work on disability-specific skills, such as braille reading and writing, abacus instruction, adaptive computer technology, orientation and mobility, personal organization and social skills.
