ACVREP

ACVREP, founded in 2000, believes that all people who are blind or have low vision should receive services from highly qualified professionals and its mission is to advance professional competency to realize that goal. The tool ACVREP uses is certification... ACVREP's certification programs are designed to offer Vision Impairment Specialists, who provide services to individuals who are blind or have low vision, the means to demonstrate critical knowledge and skills that promote the provision of quality services and ethical practice... In developing the certifications, ACVREP adheres to the best practice standards of the national organization that accredits certifications, NCCA, and to the international standards of ISO 17024. To develop and maintain a certification, ACVREP assembles a committee of Subject Matter Experts in the area of specialization who establish the certification standards and working with an outside professional psychometric firm, create a rigorous certification..
