This independent, self-paced training is designed for teachers (classroom, P.E., music, art, etc) therapists, and paraprofessionals that are new to the needs of students with visual impairments. However, any school-based personnel working with students with visual impairments would benefit from completing these modules. There are a total of 5 modules, which include videos and other activities. Participants will earn up to 5 inservice credits.
