Hello from Massanutten, Virginia!
My name is Gwyn Suttell and I am a teacher of the visually impaired and certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist. I graduated from Kutztown University with a B.S. in visual impairments and education. I then went on to obtain my M.S. in Orientation and Mobility from Salus University. I have been a TVI/COMS for over 18 years. I feel lucky every day that was led into this career path. As a TVI/COMS, I work directly with students to promote independence and accomplish their personal academic and independence goals.
My previous experience has been with working with local school divisions and the school for the blind in Virginia. These experiences have led me to my current position as a Vision Services Coordinator with Allied Instructional Services (AIS). AIS has given me the opportunity to work with more students with blindness and visual impairments across Virginia and use my years of experience to mentor other teachers of the blind and visually and orientation and mobility specialists. Can’t get a better job than that!
I am definitely a “newbie” to blogging, but I am excited for the opportunity to learn more and share ideas about a field that I have continued passion for.
Please visit our blog regularly, lots of new posts will be coming your way soon!
Gwyn
