Position
It is the position of the CEC-DVIDB that services provided to students with
visual impairments must be based on individual student need rather than the
number of available TSVIs and O&M specialists. When determining student
services and staffing, administrators, in conjunction with TSVIs and O&M
specialists, should conduct a workload analysis to account for all professional
activities performed by special educators. Finally, further empirical research is
needed to determine appropriate workloads for TSVIs and O&M specialists and
the impact of TSVI and O&M specialist workloads on student outcomes.
