Are you new to my blog?
Read this first!

Welcome, welcome to my blog! I want to you read this FIRST because in order to understand where I'm coming from, you need to know a few concepts.

I write about concepts directly relating to the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) for children with vision impairments. The ECC is a disability specific curriculum and is a vital part to the education of children with vision impairments.

Too often, parents and education teams focus on the core curriculum (English, math, social studies, etc.) but fail to recognize the importance of the ECC. All parents and education teams should be writing ECC goals as well as core curriculum goals for IEPS. Parents need to be learning how to incorporate the ECC into their child's daily routines.

What's the Expanded Core Curriculum?
The Expanded Core Curriculum for children with vision impairments covers areas outside the general core curriculum (science, reading, math) in school. The ECC covers areas of recreation, mobility, activities of daily living, etc. Check out a few articles on the ECC from FamilyConnect:

Once you've learned what the ECC is, keep reading my blog to see how you can implement it into your child's daily routines!

*Every child with a vision impairment should have 20 minutes of daily living skills practice daily. That means CHORES. Sorry kids :)
