The Ohio State School for the Blind
Ohio State School for the Blind is a school located in Columbus, Ohio, United States. It is run by the Ohio Department of Education for blind and visually impaired students across Ohio.
Children ages 3 to 22 are placed in the school by their local school district in cooperation with the wishes of the students' parents or guardians. The majority of new students placed in the school have experienced a lack of success in local "mainstreaming" educational programs due to the severity of their disabilities or insufficient resources available in the local district.
