Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Students, ages 6 through 21, who are blind, deaf-blind, or visually impaired, including those with additional disabilities, are eligible for consideration for services at TSBVI.

The school has special equipment and classroom routines tailored to blind students, and according to a 2008 Texas Monthly article, blind students who previously attended ordinary public schools had a positive reception to TSBVI after enrolling there.

The state leased the Neill–Cochran House as a temporary site for the asylum while a permanent campus was constructed.

[3] After having its facility commandeered by Reconstruction forces for a year, the asylum was reopened in 1866 and occupied its original campus from then until 1915,[3] while the program was renamed the Texas Blind Institute in 1905 and then the Texas School for the Blind in 1915.

During World War I the School for the Blind was displaced by a military pilot training program, and it relocated to its current campus in 1917.
