SECTION 612:10-7-201. Rehabilitation teaching services

  Rehabilitation teachers provide counseling and instruction to aid clients in adjusting to blindness and severe visual impairment. All clients who are legally blind, severely visually impaired or have a rapidly progressive eye condition are to be referred to a rehabilitation teacher. Exceptions are allowed in instances where rehabilitation teaching services have been provided and the client appears to be functioning independently, or when physical restoration services are planned which will likely restore the client's functioning to a level which would remove the need for rehabilitation teaching. Rehabilitation teachers employed by the Division of Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired may serve clients who are legally blind jointly with the DRS counselor.
