Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year! I hope you are all adjusting well to your new school routine. We are looking forward to seeing your child/student this school year and are honored to be a part of your child’s/student’s educational team!

Congratulations to Mary Verlinde (Region 7 & 8) Regional Coordinator for NDVS/SB. She recently tested for the Perkins-Roman CVI Range Endorsement and is now among fewer than 150 professionals nationwide with this credential.  CVI is the leading cause of visual impairment in the United States currently and happens to be associated with some of the most significant challenges for educators to understand. This is a nice step forward for North Dakota and we hope it leads to more people seeking this training and the endorsement.

It always seems at NDVS/SB that every spring gets busier but perhaps that is just our perception. Either way, the first few months of 2019 have been a whirlwind of activity.

Mandan Public Schools VI Para I work with students with visual impairments.

Our annual goalball tournament with South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired actually took place this year!

Braille Access Center at NDVS/SB is here to provide braille and large print materials to organizations, businesses, schools, individuals, and others who need information in an alternative format.
