Student Services Support - Condell Park Vision Support Team
MODEL OF OPERATION
The Condell Park Vision Support Team are teachers with specialist training in the education of students with vision impairment. The team provides services to vision impaired students in a range of school and preschool settings. Vision Support Teachers offer support to the staff of these schools, to the students and to the parents and carers. Students may be supported from prior-to-school age through to Year 12.
The service has three fundamental principles:
  • A collaborative and consultative approach is essential so that parents or carers are actively involved in the education of their child.
  • A whole school commitment is essential to meet the needs of students with vision impairment.
  • The prime responsibility for meeting the educational needs of all students lies with the school; the itinerant support teacher (vision) supports the school to meet the individual needs of the student.
    (Section 3, Special Education Handbook For School - 1998)
The Vision Support Centre is also a resource base. Teaching and professional resources for vision-impaired students can be borrowed and Braille production needs for students can be met through the center.

Teaching services to students with vision impairment are accessed through the Executive Teacher (Vision). Medical documentation stating; condition, vision acuities (corrected) and/or field losses are essential to access these services.
