Professional guidance helps This is a guide written for teachers, not a product a student or family member uses on their own. It is easy to read, but it helps most when a teacher of students with visual impairments applies it to a specific student's needs. That is why professional input is recommended.

What it is

Summary

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

ECC Essentials is a print book for teachers of students with visual impairments. It covers the nine areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum, the skills these students need to learn so they can reach the regular school curriculum and become independent. For each area, it offers the reasoning behind it, along with suggestions and strategies for teaching it. This is a reference for educators, not a program a student works through on their own. It is made to order, so expect a wait before it ships, and all sales are final.
