[nobe-l] Looking for recommendations for schools with strong TVI programs

[Hope Paulos]

I attend Missouri State’s online program. I have 2 semesters left before I graduate. I love the program. They are great with me. I’m totally blind.

I currently live in Boston and am looking to move. I am limited by not holding a teaching certification however; I’d need a program that provided the general certification as well, not just the TVI specialization. Unfortunately, I’ve heard less than positive things about the program here in Boston. From what I’ve heard, there tends to be a focus on vision and not much awareness of blind people being TVIs. It sounds less than ideal for a blind person like myself.
