Final report on how to help visually impaired children

A special House commission is releasing its final report today to help visually impaired children.
The commission was established in 2002 to promote and develop a comprehensive system of education for blind and visually impaired children. It issued an interim report on its findings last year.

Representative Eileen Naughton, the commission’s chairwoman, will review improvements that have been made at a news conference this afternoon at the Statehouse. Several local actors will perform “before and after” skits to demonstrate the new services and policy changes implemented by the commission.
