This position is ideal for a compassionate teacher who is passionate about accessibility, skilled in adapting instruction, and eager to make a direct and meaningful impact on students’ educational experiences.
You will typically work within school settings, following the school calendar, with opportunities to serve students in both general and special education environments. The Teacher for the Visually Impaired will communicate regularly with parents and caregivers, provide training and consultation to school staff on visual impairment, and advocate for appropriate accommodations, technology, and services that enable students to engage fully in their learning. By joining IEP Therapy, you will help empower students with visual impairments to build independence, confidence, and academic success while growing your own career in a mission‑driven, collaborative environment.
