Temporary Vision Services
What Are Temporary Vision Services?
Temporary Vision Services are short-term support options provided by certified Teachers of the Visually Impaired to help schools maintain continuity of services during staff absences. Whether your district is covering a maternity leave, FMLA leave, medical absence, resignation of a teacher mid-year, or other unexpected staffing gap, Virtual TVI can step in quickly to ensure that students continue receiving the vision services they need without disruption.
Our experienced team is ready to fill in for as long as you need. We deliver high-quality instruction, maintain compliance with IEPs, and keep students on track until your permanent staff returns or a new hire is in place.
When Are Temporary Vision Services Needed?
Even the best staffed districts can experience unexpected absences. Common situations where temporary support may be needed include:
- Maternity or parental leave
- FMLA or short-term medical leave
- Sudden resignation or retirement
- Delays in hiring or onboarding a new TVI
- Reassignment of staff due to shifting caseloads
Our team understands how stressful it can be when services are interrupted mid-year. We are here to make the transition as smooth and simple as possible for administrators, staff, and students.
