As it nears its 100th anniversary, the Royer-Greaves School for the Blind in Paoli is preparing for its future, according to a report in the Daily Local News.

The school has started work on a comprehensive, strategic plan to ensure its programs, buildings, technology, and campus will support the future needs of the students and adults it serves.

Royer-Greaves offers education, training, multiple therapies, and support for students and adults who are blind or visually impaired and have cognitive, physical, or other disabilities. The school was founded in 1921.

“Our student and adult populations continue to change. Our understanding of the support that they need to live as independently as possible continues to grow,” Royer-Greaves Executive Director Vicky Mayer said. “Assistive technologies get better and better. It only makes sense that we study our present services and resources and design a delivery model that addresses this dynamic environment.”

“At a program level, we’re at functional capacity,” Royer-Greaves Strategic Planning Consultant Jim Powers said. “School and Adult Training Facility programs need more space for additional enrollment, and some classrooms and hallways need to be redesigned to accommodate modern wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment.”
