Our Story
In September 2015, Sonja Biggs Educational Services, Inc. was born in the breakfast nook of Sonja’s home with one employee. Soon the second employee joined our ranks to partner with educational agencies in providing quality services to children with visual impairments. In 2016, we added Intervener services and VI Paraprofessionals, as well as more teachers. In 2022 we reached 30 employees! We are looking into the future of teaching using teleteaching and exploring different models of service. We continue to grow as a company meeting the needs of the children we serve so that they can have access to their education and thrive through the Expanded Core Curriculum for Blind and Visually Impaired Students (ECC).
Our Staff
Our team is composed of individuals who are trained specifically in visual impairments. Our teacher department includes TVIs and O&Ms with a total of 90+years of experience! All our Interveners have been credentialed, or are currently working towards obtaining their Intervener certification. Many of our Independence Specialists have extensive braille knowledge and thorough training in VI-related assistive technology!
Our Locations
We have credentialed teachers across the United States and we are ready to serve your needs. As part of our vision, we see a future where all children, especially those with visual impairments, are educated in accessible and inclusive settings and hope to expand our services nationwide!
