Children and youth with visual impairment, including blindness in Douglas County School District have access to a range of services for their education and social support. The majority of students with visual impairment, including blindness attend their home school through the itinerant model. DCSD has 7 teachers of students with visual impairment (TVI) and 3 certified Orientation and Mobility Specialists. These individuals work with other educational team members to ensure that the students with visual impairment, including blindness have access to the general education curriculum and the related services that are identified on their Individualized Education Programs.
