Who Is Virtual TVI?
Virtual TVI was founded in 2021 to meet the ongoing need for qualified vision professionals across the country. In North Carolina cities like Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Cary, and Wilmington, school districts continue to face a shortage of certified Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs). As more children with visual impairments enter the school system, the demand for experienced vision professionals continues to grow. Schools across North Carolina are working to meet increasing student needs while navigating a limited supply of qualified TVIs, making flexible and reliable support more important than ever.
We believe every student with a visual impairment in South Carolina should have access to a Certified TVI. Whether the student is in a large city or a small rural community, our team provides direct instruction and guidance to help IEP teams make informed decisions and deliver services that support student growth and independence.
Here’s how we support schools across South Carolina:
Full-time virtual TVI coverage for your district
Part-time services to support your existing staff
Short-term help for staff leave, enrollment changes, or evaluations
Remote assessments for charter or private school students
Summer Braille tutoring, compensatory services, or ESY
From Charleston County and Richland County to Greenville, York, Lexington, and Horry counties, Virtual TVI connects South Carolina–certified teachers with students who need reliable, consistent vision support.
Who Is A TVI?
A TVI is a Teacher of the Visually Impaired, also called a TSBVI Teacher of Students who are Blind or Visually Impaired. They teach the Expanded Core Curriculum for the Visually Impaired, which consists of 9 areas that students with low vision or blindness often need direct instruction to learn. Research says that up to 90% of the information we take in is visual. So, a student who has limited or no vision is going to miss out on a lot of incidental learning, which is the information most children pick up just by observing others.
Vision affects all areas of life, which is why it is so important that a Certified Teacher of the Visually Impaired conducts a Functional Vision and Learning Media Assessment on any student ages 0-22 who is suspected of having visual difficulties that cannot be corrected by glasses, etc. The 9 areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum that a Teacher of the Visually Impaired will assess and instruct in include: Sensory Efficiency, Compensatory Skills, Independent Living Skills, Assistive Technology, Social Skills, Orientation and Mobility, Self-Advocacy Skills, Recreation and Leisure Skills, and Career Education.
