What is RCVI?

The Tennessee Resource Center for the Visually Impaired (RCVI) exists to ensure that all students who are blind or low vision in the state of Tennessee have access to accessible educational materials, including products and materials available from the American Printing House for the Blind (APH). 

 

For example, RCVI can facilitate the production of textbooks and ancillary materials in large print and braille formats, and items like video magnifiers and specialized tactile graphics kits for teaching Earth and life science are available for ordering from APH.
