St. Joseph's School for the Blind provides programs for infants, children and adults who are visually impaired/multiply disabled and a pre-school for 3-year-old Jersey City children.The school offers a full range of programs and services from birth through adulthood. Our Early Intervention Program for infants/toddlers from birth to 3 years of age provides teams of special educators to teach infants/toddlers in a natural setting how to compensate for any reduced or total lack of vision.To meet the growing need for special services, the school recently added an Adult Services program, a day habilitation program for adults with special needs. The program promotes independence through life skills training, real life experiences and includes training in personal care, meal prep, personal finances and more.
