In this recorded webinar, presenter Allie Futty translates the 2024 OSEP Dear Colleague letter and accompanying Myths & Facts document into actionable practices specifically for students with visual impairments. The session explains why AT guidance differs for this low-incidence, highly heterogeneous population and offers practical considerations for assessment, implementation planning, and ensuring consistent AT access from early childhood through transition. Educators, service providers, and school teams will gain a clearer understanding of how to improve AT decision-making and support legal, instructional, and developmental needs for learners with visual impairments.
