What does the Expanded Core Curriculum address?

The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) specifically addresses the unique and disability-specific needs of students with visual impairments. It encompasses areas that are not typically included in the standard curriculum but are critical for these students to achieve independence and success. This includes instruction in skills such as orientation and mobility, social interaction, independent living, and adaptive technology, all designed to help students navigate their environment and fully participate in society. The ECC is instrumental in ensuring that students with visual impairments receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for life beyond academics.
