Administrative History: As early as 1892, blind students in the New Mexico Territory were sent to a school in Santa Fe that was originally established for deaf students. The school became known as the New Mexico Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. In 1903, a separate school for blind students was founded. Located in Alamogordo, the New Mexico Institute for the Blind opened its doors in 1906, and is now called the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
