VSDB is a state agency that provides educational services to students within the Commonwealth of Virginia, who are sensory impaired (hard of hearing/deaf, vision impaired/blind, deafblind, deaf or blind with additional disabilities). A student may enroll as either a day or residential student. Residential students attend VSDB during the week for school and return home to family every weekend. Students attending VSDB are served through special education services and have an Individual Education Program (IEP). VSDB offers all diploma options and follows all state educational regulations for special education services including state assessment options for the Standards of Learning as prescribed by each student's IEP. VSDB is a fully accessible educational environment where learning extends beyond the classroom into the Residential Program. Students who attend VSDB have the opportunity to be leaders, participate in sports, learn in a fully accessible educational setting, develop social skills through peer interactions, and to develop independent living and workforce skills that support successful transition after graduation. In consideration for admission, students may attend VSDB for a TEMP week as an opportunity to experience VSDB's services and programs.
