Building connections and fostering a sense of belonging are important parts of every student's educational experience. In this article, two teachers of students with visual impairments at Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children share how they developed the Expanded Core Together (ECT) program, bringing elementary-aged students who are blind from different school districts together to build friendships, strengthen social connections, and develop skills through the Expanded Core Curriculum. We are proud to see our team helping create meaningful opportunities for connection, community, and growth for students with visual impairments!
