Description of CE Program/Activity
 Time: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PMThere are many decisions to think about when determining what to recommend to the ARD committee. Will you provide direct instruction? Will you provide collaborative consultation/indirect services in addition or instead of direct instruction? How much time will it take to provide for each student's needs? How much time do you need to prepare materials, to team effectively with all the educational teams, including parents, to learn the technology skills you will be teaching, and other complexities of the TVI role. What helps you to choose between these options? This TETN will share the work of a subcommittee of the Texas Advisory Committee for the Education of Students with Visual Impairments. The committee has used existing tools and approaches from the Michigan Severity Scales, guidelines used in Quality Programs for Students with Visual Impairments, and other available resources to design a *Texas* approach to determining type and amount of service.
