General Information
General Eligibility Requirements: A visual disability is defined by the Colorado Rules for the Administration of the Exceptional Children's Educational Act as a decreased visual acuity of no better than 20/70 in the best eye with the best possible correction or a visual field of 20 degrees or less. Also included are physical conditions of the visual system that cannot be medically corrected, such as oculomotor apraxia, cortical visual impairment, and/or progressive vision loss. In addition to these visual conditions, there must also be a need for adaptation of the visual content of educational materials and instructional methods. Specifically excluded from the definition of "visual disability" are those who have learning difficulties as the result of visual perception and/or visual motor problems.
