Overview

The Special Education- Visual Impairment Major is offered by Kutztown University. Teachers of the visually impaired receive specialized training to support students who are blind or visually impaired. They are certified to provide vision support from birth to age 21. This is an instructional position – not a vision therapist or medical provider.

Key Facts

Such teachers have the flexibility to provide instruction either in a small classroom or in a 1:1 individualized setting. They learn Braille and how to use specialized technology that supports students with visual impairments. KU is one of only six institutions in the U.S. to offer a program focused on preparing teachers of the visually impaired at the undergraduate level, and the only one at a state university in Pennsylvania. As a special education major pursuing a B.S. in Education/Visual Impairment, you will be part of an extraordinary network of students and faculty who make this program outstanding among others of its kind.
