iN a eer wm: F ms LO ay ay —TTaV—GK TT i i i TTT TTT TT TIT TTTTTTTTNTTTTAATTN: Aas % Lilosophy We, the staff of The Kentucky School for the Blind, base our school program and services on the philosophy expressed in the following beliefs: Oy, ili AT ! WE BELIEVE: | that every person has dignity, is of worth, and is entitled to respect as an unique being. that every person should be given the opportunity to realize his her potential and that the school has the responsibility of providing experiences that will encourage him her to do so. that those basic skills and knowledges needed to function productively in our society are essential to each student and that it is the school's function to introduce and nurture those skills and knowledges. every student should be equipped with a knowledge of the adaptive skills needed to compensate for his her handicap. that the effects of blindness must be recognized by all staff members and reflected in the total programming. each student needs to understand and practice the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship living in a democratic society. that awareness and appreciation of the fine arts, leisure skills, and other activities which enrich life are necessary to the student's optimal development. WATE AUTORUN STA AUTEUR ev that the staff must assist in the development of self-esteem instilling in students who are blind or visually handicapped an attitude of independence and confidence. 2 AMAT AA TTT that awareness and appreciation of individual differences are beneficial toward becoming a contributing member of society. that this school has primary responsibility for the education of the students enrolled here, but a share of that responsibility lies with the family, the community, and other social institutions. that the philosophy of education must be constantly reevaluated to meet the changing needs of children as they face a very complex society.
