Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVI) - Virtual Training Recordings

Since 2020, NDVS/SB has hosted virtual trainings for TSVIs about a variety of topics. These trainings serve as a way for vision professionals to connect with, learn from, and grow with their colleagues across the state and region. Some trainings are led by NDVS/SB staff, while other presenters are nationally renowned experts.
