Creating IEPs for Students with CVI

Earn Credits

This self-paced tutorial will look at the terminology related to IEPs as well as assessment and eligibility for special education services.  In addition, the importance of including the expanded core curriculum for students with CVI in the IEP will be reviewed.  The final two weeks will examine the components of the IEP with an emphasis on clearly articulating the appropriate accommodations and teaching strategies for the student with CVI in the document. 

Upon successful completion of this tutorial, participants will earn 25 professional development points or continuing education credits, including ACVREP  and CTLE credits. 

This is a web-based, self-guided professional development activity for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVIs), Orientation & Mobility Specialists, teachers of students with moderate/severe disabilities, teachers of deafblind students, & related service personnel.
