Abstract
It is important for residential schools for students with visual impairments to collaborate with students’ local education agencies (LEAs), especially during transitions from one school to another. This study explored whether these schools are collaborating with LEAs, how the collaborative process is defined, what the benefits of such collaboration are, and what changes in the process the schools would like to see.
