In: Journal of visual impairment & blindness: JVIB, Band 85, Heft 5, S. 229-231

Abstract

This article describes a model for training teachers of visually impaired children in rural areas at George Peabody College for Teachers and the innovative strategies used in the training program. The shortage of teachers of the visually impaired necessitates the development of training programs that are flexible and accessible to individuals who are employed in rural areas that need properly trained professionals.
