Winter 2012
Colorado is a state rich in resources for children
and youth who are blind and visually impaired. While there are always dreams and plans to expand and improve our services and supports to students, their families, and their service providers, we have much
celebrate and share. The state has close to 95 teachers of students
with visual impairments (TVIs)/certified orientation and mobility specialists (COMS) working in Colorado's 58 administrative units (comprised of 178 school districts) and the Anchor Center for Blind Children. Fifty-eight individuals working in Colorado schools and with rehabilitation services have ACVREP O&M Certification and 15 are ACVREP certified low vision therapists.

will be highlighted by program. The narrative detailing program highlights is not exhaustive, but provides a good sampling of unique and collaborative services. This narrative does not address all state resources.
