    Low Vision Training Services for Students and Teachers

    Please keep in mind that New England Low Vision and Blindness offers low vision and blindness assessment and training services for students, teachers and schools and an Advanced Low Vision Rehab Clinic to help students with vision impairment maximize the remaining vision that they do have.

    Our Assistive Technology Specialists and Trainers can assess needs, recommend low vision and blindness devices, set up systems and provide training for visually impaired students and the education professionals who work with them. Our training services enable students and teachers to use technology to get the visually impaired student immediate access to tests, notes, presentations, etc. and to have the same equal access to educational information as their peers.

    We help you and your students with low vision better understand the specific vision loss, by teaching you new skills like eccentric viewing to make the most of your remaining vision, and by using the latest vision technologies. We determine the best distance correction levels of magnification (needed for different activities), tools and technology to maximize your residual vision.
