    This document discusses visual impairment in students and the services they require. Key signs of visual impairment include eyes that don't move together, crossed eyes, unequal pupils, and clumsiness. Students who are visually impaired need materials in braille, large print or electronic formats. They also require career education, mobility training, social skills development, and independent living skills training adapted for their visual needs. Visually impaired students learn the same content as others but at a slower pace and through different methods. They receive education either at residential schools for the blind, or through special programs and support within their local public schools.
