Description: Children with visual impairments are often referred for psychoeducational evaluations with varying degrees of collaboration and participation from teachers of the visually impaired (TVI). Psychologists, speech language pathologists, and other evaluators may have little to no experience with children with visual impairments, let alone knowledge of how a TVI may be helpful in conducting assessments.
