Job Description
TVI: The itinerant teacher for students with visual
impairments travels to the students and is assigned schools to
provide direct and/or consultative special education services
relating to visual impairments. These services enable the students
to learn in classroom and community environments. Students range in
age from 3 to 21, may have additional disabilities, and may have
varying cognitive function.
O&M: The itinerant O&M specialist travels to the students’ assigned schools and/or home to provide direct and/or consultative services relating to the visual impairment. These services enable the students to travel safely, efficiently, and independently in their home, school, and community environments. Students range in age from 3 to 21, may have additional disabilities, and may have varying cognitive function. Community-based instruction is assumed and a critical component of the O&M program. It is often necessary for instruction to occur off-campus, so the need for transportation for this community-based instruction is important.
