You have more info than what I've seen with other families. When a teacher or therapist isn't available to provide the services in the IEP, lots of schools don't mention this to families. They want to amend the IEP so they are not out of compliance with the IEP is my 1st thought. You can ask that they provide compensatory services once they hire a new TVI but I see their point: If your child is building momentum, maybe it's appropriate for an OT to work toward some of the goals - this is provided this isn't outside of the OT's scope of practice. I would want something in the IEP saying that the school will be activity looking for a TVI since they are the appropriately credentialed person to be working with a student who has CVI. You don't want the school to forget your child needs a TVI if they were to amend the IEP where an OT is working on the goals having a reminder about a TVI would be good. Is there a TVI in the area where you could take your child to see them & the school covers the cost as part of the IEP? That's the only alternative that I'm aware of when they have staff unavailable to provide a service in the IEP.
