The mission of Teaching Students with Visual Impairments is to provide all persons involved in the student's education with the necessary resources they need to help each student become successful members of their communities and to equip those in the visual impairment field with a readily available resource to meet the wide range of needs of the students they serve.
If you are entering, or currently in the vision field, you will find information related to all areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum as well as other resources related to all aspects of instructing students with visual impairments and adapting the environment, materials, and method of instruction. You will also find information on teaching strategies, professional development opportunities, and resources to continue your professional growth. If you are a classroom teacher, therapist or administrator unfamiliar with working with students who are blind or visually impaired, this site will assist you in preparing and creating a learning environment that is adapted to meet the unique needs of the students and to help you confidently teach them. Program ResourcesFind all the information to support your Visual Impairment program. Topics include professional practice tips, career resources, visual impairment organizations, resource books, roles of vision professionals, in-service trainings, instructional planning, history of visual impairments, and parent resources.
ServiceFind information specific to referrals for vision services, components of vision exams, how to interpret the information in the medical eye report, conducting the FVELMA and other vision-specific evaluations. Learn strategies for putting the information into the student’s IEP and writing SMART goals for the student.
AdaptationsStudents who are blind or visually impaired, require adaptations to the environment, materials, and instruction to have access to the curriculum. Each student with a visual impairment will have his or her own unique visual needs. These needs will depend on the students' visual impairment as well as other disabilities. Learn more about how to adapt the environment, materials and instruction.
InstructionFind information, resources, and instructional strategies in teaching all nine areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum: Compensatory, Sensory Efficiency, Assistive Technology, Independent Living, Social Skills, Orientation & Mobility, Career Education, Recreation & Leisure, and Self Determination.
