Wisconsin State Dept. of Public Instruction, Madison. Div. for Handicapped Children and Pupil Services.; Wisconsin School for the Visually Handicapped, Janesville.
The curriculum guide sets forth the course of study at the Wisconsin School for the Visually Handicapped. An initial section presents the school's philosophy regarding the need for specialty skills to be incorporated into regular academic instruction. The content of the primary and elementary programs (kindergarten through grade 6) is reviewed in terms of language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, music, physical education, and for the elementary students, functional (daily living skill) instruction and cooperative programing (mainstreaming in a public school setting). Description of the program for grades 7-12 includes minimal requirements for graduation as well as electives and such additional offerings as occupational and physical therapy, vocational guidance and evaluation, forensics team, cross country team, and visual efficiency training. Course descriptions are presented for English, social studies, mathematics, science, business education, industrial technology, and music.
