I strongly agree with Brandon. We just had a issue where in the expanded core goal it was brought up as a issue the TVI had not addressed and we strongly in forced that those issues are a parents to address and not a schools or TVIs

However, I'm a bit skeptical about its relevance as a topic for parents of blind children to consider specifically. Is making good health choices more important for blind children than it is for sighted children? As a blind person, I don't think so. General health?eating, exercise, etc?effects blind people, but only to the extent that we are human and are therefore subject to the same consequences of bad decision-making as any other human. In other words, I think blind children should have access to the same health information as sighted children. However, I don't see a need for specialized attention to be given to the health of blind children, and I certainly don't think TVI's should get involved in the health of a student.
