Good morning AER Members - In our district, a parent has asked for an "Accessibility Specialist" for their student (middle school, congenitally blind, delayed).  This staff member would be with the student in class and serve as a "liason" between the TVI and classroom teacher.  The parent indicates that this is a "new" specialist, and that they are aware of such a staff member in other states, as well as California. Please respond to me, if you have any knowledge of this type of staff member working in class with students who are blind.
Thank you,
Pat
