Most students with visual impairments in Texas are served by itinerant VI teachers and O&M specialists. What skills does an itinerant professional need? How can the itinerant professional meet the various needs of students with visual impairments? Keynote speaker Jean Olmstead, teacher for students with visual impairments, orientation and mobility specialist, and author of Itinerant Teaching: Tricks of the Trade for Teachers of Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired, will address these and other questions.
Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (TAPVI) will hold its 1st Annual Meeting in conjunction with Texas Focus 2004. We will present a summary of the progress and accomplishments for the organization. Join us for a lively exchange of ideas on the future of TAPVI. We will hold annual meetings at every Texas Focus.

Daily living skills consist of all the tasks and functions people perform, in accordance with their abilities, in order to lead lives as independently as possible. These needs are varied, as they include skills in personal hygiene, food preparation, money management, time monitoring, organization, etc. The skills and knowledge that sighted students acquire by casually and incidentally observing and interacting with their environment are often difficult, if not impossible, for blind and visually impaired students to learn without direct, sequential instruction by knowledgeable persons.
