I am a retired teacher of students with visual impairments with 34 years of teaching and 10 years of consulting in the Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax, VA. During my career, I had the opportunity to work with numerous braille learners in both itinerant and resource room settings.
My name is Sandy Gillam. I am a wife and a mother of two boys. My youngest, Finn, is 11 years old and has typical vision and hearing. My oldest, Liam, age 14, is deafblind.
I am a teacher of the visually impaired at Foundation for Blind Children, where I have been employed for the past five years. The students in my preschool class have multiple disabilities in addition to visual impairments. There have been two students in my classes who are deafblind.
I am an itinerant TVI in southern Maine. I like to try creative teaching techniques to get my students “hooked” and invested in the lesson. Part of my passion comes from being visually impaired myself.
