This program prepares students interested in working as a teacher of children with visual impairments or orientation and mobility specialist with children, or a dual program of both teacher of children with visual impairments and orientation and mobility. The focus in these programs is on the specific skills required for helping children with visual impairments to learn to lead full and productive lives. Many choose to become dual-certified as both a teacher of children with visual impairments and an orientation and mobility specialist for children. This combination helps the professional understand and meet the total needs of the child. The combination is also in high demand in primarily rural areas, where the number of children with visual impairments is too low to employ professionals separately educated in each area. Teachers of children with visual impairments, orientation and mobility specialists for children and dual-specialists work primarily in public schools and residential schools for children with visual impairments. Personnel shortages exist in most states in the nation for people educated in these areas.
You must have successfully completed a United States Bachelors degree (or equivalent overseas qualification) or/with full-time or equivalent work experience in a relevant industry setting. Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted. If you dont meet the entry requirements, there may be other programs you are eligible for that can lead you to your preferred program.
