What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the third edition of a foundational textbook covering the history and theory of educating children and youth with visual impairments — essentially the core curriculum text for university programs training teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) and orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists. It's not a product used directly by someone with a disability; it's professional development and training material for the educators and specialists who support them. The book is available in print (made to order, allow 3-4 weeks) and as an EPUB digital file. Professionals pursuing TVI or O&M certification, university instructors, or school district staff building out their VI program will find this the standard reference for the field — but it's an academic text, not a practical AT tool, so hands-on practitioners looking for implementation guides may want to pair it with Volume II as well.
