Description

Founded in 1920 (Hathaway, 1977; Trief, Decker, & Ryan, 2004; Wolffe, 2001), the Hadley School for the Blind is known worldwide for its tuition-free distance-education courses (LaGrow, Ponchillia, & Ponchillia, 1998; Wolffe, 2001) for people who are visually impaired (that is, those who are blind or have low vision). The school offers more than 90 courses (Hadley, 2006) to people who are visually impaired, family members of people who are visually impaired (D'Andrea, 1996), and professionals in the field of visual impairment (Hadley, 2004; Wolffe, 2001). Hadley serves more than 1,100 families of people who are visually impaired annually (Hadley, 2004). Instructors are available to their students via telephone and e-mail for questions and guidance (Wolffe, 2001). Hadley's web site, www.hadley.edu, provides a wealth of information for students and others who are interested in its services, including its course catalog, application forms for enrolling in Hadley, a student lounge (Wolffe, 2001), and the Internet-based discussion boards on which those who are interested in the school or issues related to visual impairment can communicate with one another. Hadley's main school in the United States serves more than 9,000 students, and the overseas school in the People's Republic of China provides vital educational services to more than 1,000 Chinese students (Hadley, 2005). The school's international enrollment spans the globe, including students from over 100 countries (Hadley, 2006). With Hadley's new e-learning initiative, international students receive course materials quickly by bypassing traditional mail services and relying on e-mail for communication and the delivery of course materials and instruction (Hadley, 2004).
