ABSTRACT
In the United States, 0.05% of students aged 6 to 21 are visually impaired [about one in 2000 students] and 0.4% of students with disabilities served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) are visually impaired [about one in 250 students with disabilities] (McLeskey, Rosenberg, & Westling, 2018). In this paper, two manuscripts are presented, each addressing a critical issue for students with visual impairments (1) the preparation of Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments for supporting students in high school mathematics;and (2) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the educational experiences of students with visual impairments. Data were collected through surveys of TSVIs and parents of students with visual impairments. Analysis of data from these surveys indicated that TSVIs do not (generally) feel prepared to support students with visual impairments in high school mathematics;and issues of accommodation and accessibility were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
