Division on Visual Impairments

VIDBE-Q 2025 Volume 70 Issue 1 co-founded the American Association of Workers for the Blind in 1887 (Maryland Archives, 2023). By the time MSB moved to its current location in 1907, under Superintendent John Francis Bledsoe, the school was already recognized as a model of progressive education for blind students. Bledsoe's efforts led to the construction of Newcomer Hall and the creation of the first "cottage system" for instruction, providing students with an environment that felt less like an institution and more like home.
