Division on Visual Impairments

President's Message Tiffany Wild, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University, wild.13@osu.edu! Dear DVIDB Members, I hope everyone has a great start to the new school year. I am very excited to share this new installment of our journal with you. Thank you to Karen Koehler and Kathleen Farrand for putting together this special issue. I also want to thank all that submitted articles. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is an area that I am very passionate about and to my knowledge this is the first issue we have dedicated to this topic. Each year I get many questions about accommodations and modifications for teaching STEM to students with visual impairments. I hope 7
