 best friends in early childhood huddle together

Students, ages 3 through 21, who have visual acuity of 20/70 or less, and may have additional health challenges, can attend Overbrook School for the Blind. To be considered for admission to Overbrook, a student must be referred in writing by their local educational agency (LEA)/school district/early intervention provider. Overbrook does not discriminate in admissions on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ancestry, veteran status and all other classes protected by applicable law.

Overbrook's admissions team works collaboratively with LEAs, schools, early intervention providers and families who are interested in enrolling a student in one of our programs.
