Services may include:
Consultation with certified professionals
Assistance in developing district-level educational plans
Recommendations for instructional adaptations and accessible materials such as large print, Braille, or digital formats
Guidance on selecting educational resources and assistive technology
Instruction and consultation related to low vision devices and orientation and mobility skills
Comprehensive evaluations, including Functional Vision Assessments, Learning Media Assessments, Orientation and Mobility Evaluations, and Functional Assistive Technology Evaluations
In addition, ESVI offers regional and statewide professional development opportunities for educators and service providers.
