VRCBVI’s STEPS to Success (Strategies & Techniques for Enhancing Performance & Skills) is a three-week virtual collaborative program between the University of Richmond’s School of Professional & Continuing Studies and the Virginia Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Vision Impaired (VRCBVI). Our innovative program introduces valuable skills, techniques, and strategies to help maximize success in preparing for college or careers. This year, we are pleased to make this program available to more students by offering a virtual program.
Specialized classes taught by highly experienced and enthusiastic teachers include:
