[blindkid] TVI expertise

[Brandy W]

It depends on how high functioning he is, but generally he should have a
member on the team for every disability present so he gets adequate support.
TVI's are not trained for all disabilities, just made aware of them. Some
teachers are going to be better than others.

We believe and doctor has confirmed our blind son has an autism spectrum
disorder as well.  My question...are TVI's trained and qualified to be the
only educator working with spectrum disorders or should my son have a
general special education teacher with pull out with TVI?
