The curriculum guide provides guidelines for developing academic and living vocational skills in visually handicapped students from preschool to adolescence. The document, divided into two sections, outlines objectives, teaching strategies, and materials for each skill area. Section 1 covers the following academic skills: communication, mathematics, social studies, and science. The living/vocational skills addressed in section 2 are divided into six developmental levels and include: understanding of self and others, orientation and mobility, health, safety, work skills, home management, motor development and physical activities, and fine arts and individual expression. Each skill area section in the guide is preceded by an introduction which offers information on teaching methods, sample projects, and planning. Appendixes include a program overview chart, a student profile/checklist, and a list of resources. (SW)
