Introduced by Lion Mac Ragsdale

Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI) serves 11,000 students across Texas in many ways with a focus on not just independence, but empowerment. What does that mean? Come meet Superintendent Emily Coleman and find out.

About our Speaker:

Emily Coleman is the Superintendent at TSBVI and host of the podcast, “A Sense of Texas.” Emily began her career at the Washington State School for the Blind (WSSB) as an itinerant Teacher of Students who are Visually Impaired and then worked as their Outreach Director and State Vision Consultant with Washington Sensory Disabilities Services. She has served as President of the Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired and is currently a board member for the Council of Schools and Services for the Blind. Emily is married with three teenage children and her middle child, Eddie, was born blind with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia.
