Professional guidance helps You can read this book alone, with no setup. But it is a professional teaching resource, and the strategies work best when a teacher of students with visual impairments or the school team helps choose which skills to teach and how. That is why professional input is recommended.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

ECC Essentials is a book for teachers of students with visual impairments. It covers the nine areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum, which are the skills these students need to learn so they can reach the regular school curriculum and become independent. For each area, the book explains why it matters and offers suggestions and strategies for teaching it. It's written for the educator, so it isn't a workbook or something a student would use directly. It's also made to order, and it can come as an electronic EPUB file that needs an EPUB reader.
