Teacher of the Visually Impaired
I do have 30 years of experience in teacher students with blindness/visual impairments (BVI). However, I do not have additional specific certification in the above areas, nor could I consider myself an "expert". I do feel that I have a great knowledge with students that have BVI, but I am also continuously learning as an educator.
