What is a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI)?
Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) are educational specialists providing support to both students with visual impairments and classroom teachers. The primary goal of the TVI in a public school setting is to support the full inclusion of the child within the classroom, and integration in all educational experiences. This is accomplished through assessment, direct instruction, curriculum and material adaptation, and consultation with the educational team which includes the family and community.
