Summary:

This regulation was established to provide uniform service delivery to blind and visually impaired infants, children and youth. The regulation has been repealed because the agency was advised by the Office of the Attorney General that it does not possess the statutory authority to promulgate or enforce the regulation. Services continue to be provided through the agency’s Education Services Program as outlined in the Education Services Policies and Procedures Manual. Provisions of the regulation that provide an appeals process for individuals who have a complaint regarding the department's delivery of services and provide for confidentiality of personal information are covered in Board of Education regulations (8VAC 20-80-70 and 8VAC 20-150-10 et seq.) and federal law (20 USC §1232g) and regulations (34 CFR Part 99).
