People visit the Arkansas School for the Blind for various
reasons. Some come to tour our facilities in order to learn
more about how persons who are visually impaired are educated,
or to learn more about the educational program at ASB. Others
come in order to avail themselves of the many diagnostic
services offered to children with visual impairments. Often,
parents visit the school to get a first-hand look at the
facilities and to talk with school personnel in order to
determine if ASB is the appropriate placement for their child
who is visually impaired. Regardless of the reason, interested

program offered at the Arkansas School for the Blind.
