Teacher Services

The Chesterfield County Public Schools in Virginia require specialized teacher services to support students with sensory impairments. The agency is seeking qualified providers to deliver orientation and mobility services, blind or visually impaired services, braille transcription services, and deaf or hard of hearing services. This initiative aims to ensure that students with hearing and visual challenges receive the necessary educational accommodations, assessments, and instructional support to succeed in their academic environments. For deaf or hard of hearing services, the agency requires the ability to support a total communication environment using oral methods, signed supported English, and American Sign Language. Providers must review and obtain updated audiological and medical information regarding each student's hearing loss, discrimination ability, and amplification use to share with parents and staff. The scope also includes conducting evaluations on how hearing impairments impact educational performance, preparing reports, and interpreting assessment results. For blind or visually impaired services, the agency requires functional vision assessments, learning media assessments, and assistive technology evaluations. Providers must prepare detailed reports, present findings, and interpret assessment results regarding the impact of visual impairments on student learning. Braille transcription services require converting a variety of written materials into Braille while handling student and instructional materials with strict privacy and ethical standards. Transcriptionists must proofread all materials for correct symbols, formatting, and completeness, as well as maintain records of all transcription services performed. Bidders must perform all work onsite in Chesterfield, Virginia, and the agency limits eligibility to onshore providers located within the United States. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested bidders to evaluate the financial aspects of the submissions.
