Outreach Short Courses in Waltham, MA, is dedicated to empowering public school students who are blind or visually impaired by providing enriching programs that concentrate on the Expanded Core Curriculum. Our initiative focuses on essential life skills such as personal care, health and wellness, independent living, and social skills, which often are not sufficiently emphasized in the traditional school environment. We create a safe and welcoming space where students can explore their independence, socialize with peers who share similar experiences, and develop crucial self-awareness and self-advocacy skills. Through our varied offerings, we aim to nurture confidence and foster a strong sense of community among participants.
