Welcome
The Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ISBVI) educates and invests in many children that, due to blindness/low vision or blindness/low vision and additional handicapping conditions, other schools cannot or have difficulty serving. Through its outreach initiatives, ISBVI provides services to children and young adults throughout the state who are blind or have low vision who are not enrolled at the School.

Upcoming Virtual Session: Assistive Technology Exploration!
Join us on January 15th, 2026, from 5:00–6:00 PM for an engaging virtual session designed to empower access and independence for individuals who are blind or have low vision.
This session will introduce families and educators to a wide range of assistive technology tools, from screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to accessible math supports such as DESMOS. We’ll explore features, shortcuts, and practical strategies you can begin using right away at home or school. Participants will also learn about additional reading, writing, organizational, and STEM-access tools, along with tips for reinforcing AT skills beyond the classroom.
Educators: Earn PGP points by completing the post-session survey.
A recording will be available for anyone who cannot attend live.

This special event is designed just for young children who are blind or visually impaired.

It’s also a great opportunity to meet other families, connect with staff, and learn more about resources available through our program.

School Breakfast
Eating breakfast every day provides many benefits:
- Breakfast gives the brain the kickstart it needs. Healthy food fuels the body increasing concentration, memory, attention, and enhancing creativity.
- Studies have shown that students who eat a healthy breakfast have significantly better scores in math, spelling, and reading.
- Eating breakfast also leads to a healthier body weight.
Talk to your child about starting their mornings off strong with one of our daily breakfast options!
Strategic Plan
The ISBVI Board recently approved a new 5-year Strategic Plan for the School. The strategies within this plan will provide a roadmap for positioning ISBVI as the Center for Excellence for the state in educating students with blindness or low vision. This roadmap will be implemented in phases over the coming years as the school concurrently navigates its transition to a new state-of-the-art campus.
