Abstract
This chapter outlines the progression in the development of educational settings and services for students with visual impairments over the past several hundred years.

An explanation of the professionals who support the unique disability-specific needs of students with visual impairments in inclusive settings is also presented. This chapter concludes with a discussion of current issues related to the inclusion of students with visual impairments including personnel shortages, technological developments, and unemployment rates.
