I am having the same issue with my daughter's school district. A couple teachers retired and there are 2 openings for a TVI that are not being filled. They have hired a retired TVI to work temporarily.

If anyone knows any TVIs who wants to work in San Diego, they are hiring.

Sad but fits with what I knew previously. I'm completing my degree and moving on to the TVI/COMS program at NIU so it also means job security.

This is sad, however in my opinion not unexpected! It’s a positive thing that both Apple and Google are making strides in accessibility, and providing mainstream devices in the classroom that don’t limit students.

I’m an O&M specialist and I have a caseload of 50+ kids. I feel like I’m drowning most days. I wish there was more I could do, but I am only one person.

When I was in school, I joked about people in the vision field never retiring... but now I think I know why. The guilt and internal conflict of never being able to do enough. There is always more work to do. One more student. One more year.
