Admission to MSB begins at the local school level.

Reasons for referral may include a need for vision-related services beyond a level the county can reasonably provide.

The purpose of the program is to promote readiness for school-age programs in the most integrative setting possible. Typically developing students, without disabilities, are included as an integral part of the daily program.

Also I am very excited to get back to school once things return to semi-normal a little bit as well.
