The Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness at 
Louisiana Tech University is currently recruiting students for the 
upcoming year.  We offer a Master of Arts in Educational Psychology with 
concentration in Orientation and Mobility (O&M), a Master of Arts in 
Teaching Blind Students, and a Master of Science in Curriculum and 
Instruction with cognate in Teaching Blind Students (TBS).  These are 
the only programs in the country that are founded with the Federation 
philosophy.  The Institute on Blindness does not discriminate against 
any applicants and actively recruits people who are blind, sighted, and 
of diverse backgrounds.

It is extremely important that blind individuals receive training from 
teachers who possess good blindness skills.  Teachers of the blind must 
believe in the skills they are teaching and in the abilities of blind 
people.  Members of the National Federation of the Blind who have been 
through our graduate programs are excellent teachers because of their 
philosophy about blindness.  Graduates of our programs are continually 
sought after, having numerous employment opportunities upon graduation.

We are looking for individuals who are ready to enter a graduate 
program, but we are also interested in speaking with anyone who may want 
to pursue a career teaching in the field of blindness in any capacity. 
We invite all qualified individuals with positive attitudes about 
blindness who desire a meaningful career teaching cane travel or Braille 
to blind children or adults to apply for our programs. Funding is 
available on a competitive basis for qualified applicants.

For more information, you may also view our brochures online.
