This rule applies to all public schools, state educational institutions, and educational programs conducted in state institutions other than the New Mexico military institute with students who are blind or visually impaired. These standards shall be used with students who are blind or visually impaired unless a student's individualized education program (IEP) team determines, after an evaluation of the child's reading and writing skills, needs, and appropriate reading and writing media, including the child's future needs for instruction in braille or the use of braille, that instruction in braille or the use of braille is not appropriate for the child.
