Teaching Blind Children

Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, Illinois) offers a nationally
regarded program at the graduate level for individuals who wish to join
a rewarding career in teaching blind and visually impaired children.
Teachers of students who are visually disabled travel from school to
school working with the students on a one-to-one basis. The bast
majority of students  who are visually disabled attend their local
schools with their   sighted peers in the same classrooms as their
sighted friends.  The special education teachers who provide instruction
for blind children work with their regular classroom teachers to insure
that the blind youngsters receive the best and most appropriate
education designed for them. There is an overwhelming need for these
teachers. As a consequence, there are many job opportunities in all
regions of the United States. Individuals who choose this career path
can anticipate having no difficulty obtaining life-long employment with
great job security! In addition to numerous job opportunities, good pay,
and excellent job security, individual who choose this career path
experience a sense of meaningfulness not commonly found in other
careers.  These teachers play a significant role in the lives of blind
youngsters and their families.
