The Project: WSSB’s Distance Learning Project currently has
four “missions”, or areas identified for inclusion: Mission 1 is to
provide digital/online curriculum for WSSB students; Mission 2 is to provide
digitally delivered curriculum for other students not at WSSB; Mission 3 is to
provide training for teachers and others in the field who work with students
with visual impairments; and Mission 4 is to provide a comprehensive resource
for families and others to either search through frequently asked questions or
send a query about raising a child with a visual impairment.
