- Erin Weaver, eweaver@aph.org
Erin is from the Western New York area and has worked in the field of Blind & Visually Impaired for more than 25 years as a Teacher of students with Visual Impairments and the Statewide Coordinator of Education for the Blind and Visually Impaired for the Delaware Division for the Visually Impaired.
She earned her A.A.S. in Early Childhood Education at Villa Maria College of Buffalo, B.S. at Michigan State University in the areas of Elementary Education, Special Education, and Teacher of students with Visual Impairments, and an M.S.E.D. at St. Bonaventure University in Childhood Literacy.
A few highlights of Erin’s career include being a board member of the Pennsylvania-Delaware AER Chapter, the development and implementation of Delaware’s Transition to UEB Plan, and her involvement with Camp Abilities, and the opportunity to work on the publications: Visual impairment and physical education: Steps to success, Gross Motor development for Children With Visual Impairments, Teaching Gross Motor Development to Children With Visual Impairments, and Staff Training for Physical Education for Children With Visual Impairments.
Spending time with her family on the waterfront is Erin’s most cherished pastime.
